My dog got prednisone late. Can I still give the evening dose?

Question

Tate was started on prednisone on Friday morning. The vet said give 1 pill twice a day for 3 days, then 1 pill once a day for three days, then every other day. Today was supposed to be his last day on the twice a day, but I have him his morning pill late. Instead of 9am it was 12. He is coming up on the time for his evening pill. Do I sick it and do an extra day of once a day or am I ok to give him a second pill at 9pm as scheduled? Wasn't sure as she said they were supposed to be 12hrs apart. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | neutered | 4 years and 10 months old | 60 lbs

It is close enough you can get to your normal routine. If his twice a day dose is due at 9 you can give it tonight then start up once a day tomorrow. Whether you do once a in the morning it evening it does not matter, just stick to the time frame
