steroid side effects are usually only long-term.  the only short-term side effects is that every once in a blue moon a cat gets diabetes from one or two shots of depomedrol, but usually even that side effect is after months of use.  If there is lymphoma or a hyper-immune reaction, steroids can help immensely and nothing else (except chemo if lymphoma) will.

He wasn't too keen about the steroids because of side effects relating to it being human form.
