Is human hepatitis the same as dog hepatitis?
hepatitis is a descriptive word meaning "inflammation of the liver" there are many causes. i assume you are thinking of the viral causes of hepatitis in humans such as hepatitis A, B and C. These viruses are not transferrable to dogs. If your dog is diagnosed with hepatitis it may be viral, but more commonly it could be bacterial - usually bacteria from the gut that has tracked up the bile duct and into the liver. Sometimes also described as cholangiohepatitis (cholangio pertains to the gall bladder and bile duct) if there is inflammation in the biliary tract. You cannot transfer this disease to your dog, nor can you "catch it" from your dog.
