You can switch to 8am and 8pm.  You could also discuss with your vet going to Doxycycline which is a once a day antibiotic.

Took him in yesterday as he was worse.They gave him 3 shots,sub q and chloramphenicol.Said prognosis very poor.I moved his heated cat house into garage,He seems a bit better......fingers crossed.

By poor prognosis you mean they're worried he will die??

Yes might not make it.Low body temp.phenmonia,weak heart,and a few other things.Said if he makes it thru this to do blood work to see if its aids-leuk-herpes.Dont know if Im just hopeing but he seems a bit better than yesterday.

Sad to say Mr Whiskers passed 2:30 this morning.When I was making my last check on him he started to pass-hated to watch but Im glad I was there to pet him to send him off.He was a outside stray that picked my house to stay at.I did the best I could for him the 18 months......I am sure going to miss that boy.

I am so sorry for your loss. Sure he appreciated all you did for him and being with him in his final moments.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry, please accept my condolences. You gave him comfort and did what you could, I'm so glad he found someone that would go through what you did to try to help him, not many would for a stray. You are surely an angel on earth to help that little guy, I'll pray for you both. He received  love and care at his passing and now has someone to mourn the loss and to remember him in their heart. Thank you for having such a big heart! Take care, and thank you for giving us his story so he can be known to many and properly mourned. RIP Mr. Whiskers! 

My condolences - it's so sad that he didn't make it.
