Devon Rex on Atopica

Wondering if this is normal... my girl tapered off her steroids completely about 2 weeks ago and has been on only Atopica since, and her skin is getting bad again 😭 I'm hoping it's just a rebound time where her body is getting used to not having the steroids, and the Atopica is building up?

She has been on Atopica since June but has also been on the steroids with it up until tapering off 2 weeks ago. I can message photos from the day before stopping steroids, a few days after, and from today since I can't add pics here

Are any of your Devons on Atopica for allergies?

Editing to add since it's helpful reference: we've done diet trials, and she still was reactive while on hydrolyzed protein :( We switched her to a limited ingredient rabbit-based food at the end of last year and she is still reactive when not actively on steroids. We also did environmental allergy testing (which, I know, isn't super reliable) just in case.
