Oh dear, poor Tickles! My first concern in a young puppy with blister-like lesions and a swelling in the neck (which I assume is a lymph node) is puppy strangles. If there is no lymph node enlargement, other issues such as a skin infection, mange or ringworm would be more suspicious. Unfortunately, there isn't anything that you can do at home for any of these conditions aside from assuring that Tickles continues to eat and drink normally. Take him to the vet as soon as you are safely able to do so. I hope that he feels better soon and that you stay safe!
