It sounds like you're treating for both a thiamine deficiency and the possibility of listeria as well. Thiamine can be given every 6 hours with the appropriate dose, and shouldn't be an issue to give that often, however if the symptoms are not improving with intensive treatment, it is best to call out a vet ASAP to make sure there isn't another underlying cause.
