My dog ate pork fat. Will he be okay or get pancreatitis?

Question

Will a small amount of pork fat make my dog sick? He's a two year old 75 pound lab. He ate a piece of pork fat about the size of a quarter. He's fine now, only happened 30 minutes ago. I am concerned because earlier this year I had to take him to the vet for pancreatitis for eating beef fat. That time he ate more than today. Should he be ok? Is there something I can give him to prevent a problem? Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | neutered | 75 lbs

There is the potential the pork fat could make Charlie sick, and it could cause him pancreatitis again. I would monitor him and if you do see signs of pancreatitis, take him into a vet immediately. You could take him into a vet now to have vomiting induced to get the fat out so there won't be any problems. Best of luck.
