Food allergies are the hardest to figure out. 8 weeks is NOT long enough of a trial to pin-point if that's what it is. We suggest a minimum of 3 months on a STRICT diet (no treats, no other food, nothing) before making a judgement call on how they're doing on the diet.

You can see chronic ear and skin issues with food allergies.

My understanding is that giving the allergy injections can not only take some time for you to start seeing results as well, but is a life-long treatment that you don't just stop after a few weeks.

I'm sorry you're having these problems. Allergies are just the worst thing to figure out in pets.

Long-term steroids can be a huge problem so I suggest doing that as little as possible.
