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.
