Question

my german pointer pup has sores under his arm pits red like blisters. Pet's info: Dog | German Wirehaired Pointer | Male | 4 months and 26 days old | 50 lbs

Dr. Leigh, DVM · Accepted Answer

It sounds like he has a bacterial skin infection (puppy pyoderma). You could bathe him with a medicated dog shampoo but he may need an antibiotic and possibly a corticosteroid to treat the problem. Have your vet take a look at him to determine the best way to treat his problem.
