puppy blisters

Question
We have a rescue puppy that was abandoned along with his five brothers and sisters.  Only two survived.  He is 5 weeks old and we found some blisters on his body.  We have a wonderful adoptive home waiting but don't want to give them a sick puppy.  What is it and what do we do?  Thanks.

Unfortunately I cannot diagnose what is wrong with your puppy without a physical exam.   There are literally a thousand reasons why your dog could have blisters on his belly.  Take him to a doctor to have him properly examined and treated.
