Better after steroid injection - breathing difficulty update

Jazzy seems so much better after the steroid injection. Almost back to her old self. Could the injection have settled things down or will the problem return? The vet said it'll probably last for a few days before it wears off. I've moved her back into the summerhouse in case there was a problem being outside in the bike shed. Fingers crossed she dosn't get bad again.
 
The problem may well return once the steroid wears off, unfortunately.

All the steroid does is reduce inflammation. So if the primary cause of the inflammation is not resolved things will go back to how they were. Hopefully Jasmine will be lucky and this wont happen :)
 
I thought maybe there was a lack of air flow in the bike shed so I am hoping that by being in the summerhouse it will be better on her chest. Shes on anti biotics so if there was a minor infection that should clear it up unless its viral. She was in the summerhouse last winter and was fine. I wish I'd put her in there to start with - that was my gut instinct. :(
