Can dogs catch Hepatitis B?

[rickster2004]

recently my dog bit a man infected with hepatitis B, and my dog has never received any other kind of vaccine shots besides rabbies shot. Now, im afraid my dog is infected with Hepatitis B, and afraid hes going to infect us. Is it possible for dogs to catch Hepatitis B, and transmit it to humans?

*Serious voice* I'm sorry but you're gonna have to put him down.Actually, I have no idea but if your dog bit someone you need to train him not too.

Nope, dogs cannot get or carry Hepatitis B. In the future you can go to the CDC website and look up various illnesses/parasites to see if they are zoonotic (meaning if they can go from animals to people).

I'm not sure, Hepatitis B infect the dna of the subject, the only animals I have ever heard that have ever had it are monkeys, I'm not sure about Dogs, you'll have to ask a professional like a veterenarian, if your dog does have it, vaccines are avaiable. I hope this helps somehow.
