Default How much Pepcid?

I was just wondering how much Pepcid an 8.5 lb yorkie is allowed in a 24 hour period. My dog Sam is just getting over pancreatitis and he's been on 1/4 tablet of 10mg of Pepcid every morning, but only in the morning. Well, I feel like it's wearing off by the time we settle in for the night b/c 2 nights ago he vomited a tiny bit of bile. He's done this before if he hasn't eaten all day. I talked to my vet about this and they said to try the Pepcid at night just this once to see if it helped and it worked b/c he slept all night without any problems! They don't really want him being on this 2x's a day so I was thinking of trying to just give him the dose at night before bed instead of in the morning b/c during the day he's eating fine and has a full belly. Does anyone have any experience with this? If so, how much do you give?

Thank you!
