Beef seemed to be Ellie's trigger.
She had been eating it for a few days and then one morning woke up with it, so I'd say 24 or so hours.

Pork won't set every Yorkie off and it depends how lean it is.
Ellie's nutritionist said I could feed it to Ellie as her protein (before pancreatitis was diagnosed). While I don't think it should be given to Yorkies on purpose, larger dogs may do just fine with it in their diet. It really depends on the dog.

You will hear that turkey sets dogs off too.
Ellie eat lean, white meat turkey with no problems AFTER her bout with pancreatitis and does just fine with it. But then she seemed to do bad on beef. So, it isn't an exact science.
