The wheezing was probably (and xray suggests) pnemonia (probably developed from clamydia infection) that could have been treated allopathically with generally specific antibiotics (tetracycline or baytril/Orbax) not steriods (totally inappropriate!). Now everything is all snowballed together, its tough to say what the heck is going on.
You need to make a very impostant choice here. Either keep on going the allopathic route OR attempt homeopathic treatment, you can not do both. The first thing I would suggest it total detox, so the true symptoms can actually manifest (right now they are probably suppressed and so there would be nothing to prescribe upon or you would be guessing at symptoms).
Whatever you do, don't allow any more depo shots, those shots very often kill cats after a year of monthly shots. I've seen cancer, liver failure and diabetis to renal failure; result from these dangerous regimes (what really annoys me is that the treatments are continued even though they clearly are not helping the situation at all!!!)

I have made a decision to treat him homeopthically. He has not been back to the vet since February. When this condition started over a year ago, he did use antibiotics, but they failed to get rid of it, it just kept coming back, that is when he started using Depro Medrol shots along with the antibiotics, & even then he only stayed clear for two months at most, usually shorter. If he just had a runny nose, I would be able to go along with what your suggesting fine, but from past experience with him, & his trouble being with his breathing, if it goes on for too long, it develops into an infection, with fever & inflamed tonsils & throat & then he really acts & is sick. I know that homeopathy approaches things differently & I gave allopathic medicine a year to help him & he has ended up with a very weak immune system & these chonic breathing problems, so I don't want to go back to that, but I have to admit that I am a bit uneasy doing nothing, & just let him get worse.
Thanks,
