Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. These blisters could be cysts or could be due to a thermal burn, such as laying on a hot surface. These could also indicate a bacterial skin infection. I would recommend having a veterinarian take a look at Bliz so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
