His gait looks a lot like Wobblers in Dobermanns, I had one with it. They have a wide back gait which is "slower" than the front legs, the front legs also appear to do a double step at times, and at that time, the back ones seem to do a "big" step if that makes sense!

Like evreyone else has said steroids definitely make you wee (I know from the ones I got for my hay fever LOL)
I really hope that they help Ollie maintain a certain level of mobility and that he can go from strength to strength with them.
Hugs as always xxx

Don't know about all that wee'ing coz my Georgie can hold it for England, all day sometimes if he feels too darn lazy to go out after his morning walk lol, but when he goes, he seems to go on forever just like Ollie's doing! At least they seem to be doing a good job for now, and I suppose you can only see as time goes on what other side effects you're going to get, but somehow, we don't seem to have many with George now. All the best with him and please pass on some more of our cuddles he really deserves lots more today for this achievement!
Have spoken to the lady that Bitkin gave me the number for she is really none the wiser except in thinking it is something to do with the lower spinal area from what I have described.
What was lovely is she knows the breed and to speak to someone who knows the breed so well and its funny ways and problems it can encounter is refreshing.
I can call her anytime if I need a chat and that is very reassuring.
He is doing ok and although not 100% and of course we do not know if we will achieve that goal he is a lot better.
Am posting some pictures on the pictures thread.
