My dog has scabby, pus-filled blisters. Is it a bacterial infection?

Question

Help! I just found a strange, scabby-looking blister thing on my dog and I don't know what caused it. He does have fleas, not too badly, but this is different from the typical little flea bites here and there. The scabs/ flaky skin he usually has are either from the flea bites or from his allergies. What I just found seems to have pus inside and there are like four different spots in the same area. I'm scared! Pet's info: Dog | Australian Terrier | Male | neutered | 15 lbs

I'm sorry to hear Kobe isn't feeling well. It looks like he has a bacterial infection of his skin. It could be secondary from the fleas or his allergies. It's nothing to be alarmed about. I would take him to the vet during normal business hours to diagnose and get him started on antibiotics. Good luck and kisses to Kobe!
