Swollen Nipples in Dogs

Panda has swollen nipples (and the area around it). She recently experienced her first heat about 3-4 weeks ago. She has no discharge, no heat, no noticeable lumps ither than nipple swelling in all nipples. She doesn’t seem pained or bothered by them either. She has not come into any contact with an intact dog - therefore is not pregnant either. She is scheduled to be spayed in January, but I was wondering if thisnsounds like it needs veterinary intervention sooner?

What is wrong with my dogs nipple? What started as a small pebble sized solid object had become pus filled and mobile.. She was just taken to the vet about a week ago and I was told nothing was wrong.. Yet now she has this issue. Im not sure if it causes pain as she she is honestly a very mellow dog and will allow her family to basically do whatever they want to her. Im just very scared at this point due to the research I've done keeps leading to mastitis or tumors.

Half of my dogs nipples are swollen. She was in heat a month ago. She has never had puppies nor is she pregnant currently. They do not seem to hurt her to touch. What can it be?

Hooch has started acting very clingy and when he lays down he goes to lay down VERY slowly or he will just stay standing. He seems very restless as he will pace but is tired and weak acting because he won't get on the chair. 2 of his nipples are enlarged. I've noticed him panting today without having exercised.

My 1 year old male Weimaraner has one slightly swollen nipple that is inverted and has developed a small scab. I clean the dirt out of it pretty regularly because it is inverted for just this reason. It seems as if it may be infected but I'm unsure. What does this sound like to you? Its red and though there is no obvious drainage I see a small amount of a white substance.

My 7 year old maltipoo's nipples look swollen and the top ones near her front feet are crusty but not particularly swollen. She is not or never has been pregnant. She has become very nervous, anxious and even aggressive to most everyone but myself....biting at people especially if they come near her food or bed. She has even started hoarding food and taking pieces to her bed an hiding them. Very unusual and sudden behavior changes.

April is a 5 year old German Shepherd mix. She is not spayed, and she hasn’t had any puppies. There’s is also no chance that she can be pregnant. She’s been acting weird for a couple of days ever since she got her two back nipples really swollen and saggy. They are pink with a white spot on each. She’s been hiding in her cage, and she’s been heavily breathing. I haven’t see her lick her nipples, but they are moist. It could be that she licks them.

My female non spayed Cane Corso has one of her teats that is swollen and the surrounding is a bit swollen. It is red due to her licking and warm/hot to the touch. Since she is very tolerant to pain I cannot say if it's painful but i can see it bothers her. She eats normally and no hesitation for her walks. She is always wanting to be in the same room as us but since 2 days she stays in the bedroom and comes out once in a while and I kinda feel her distant. Not certain when she is going to be in heat this or next month. Thank you in advance

Abby doesnt seem to be in pain. I touch the affeated area she didnt react. Its big not rock solid It wasnt swollen yesterday. And it as big toddlers shoe today. I dont have the money to see a vet. Is there any meds i can use or remedies?

So I noticed something hard when I went to go pick up Bella, and I looked at it, and it was her high left nipple. All of her other nipples are just swollen at the too, but the top left one is black and hard. I am worried and my family can't afford the costs of a vet checkup. She keeps licking her stomach too.

Why is my male dogs nipple swollen? it’s not painful when I touch it and it’s soft no redness or dryness or leaks or anything it looks like a lump under the nipple its self the other nipples look normal it’s been here for a while almost over a week it’s the second nipple down on the right side

My dogs nipple is slightly swollen probably double in size it’s bleeding on the side but that might be from her irritating it. It’s slightly discolored and wondering if there is anything I can do.

Hi, I have a 12.5 year old female, un-spayed Jack Russell who has developed a swollen nipple. When you touch it she doesn't seem to mind, as in, she doesn't appear to be in any pain. I'd say it is highly unlikely that she is pregnant as she hasn't had a bleed in several years now, and no contact with male dogs nonetheless. On examination, it feels as if there is a tube coming from it, as in enlarged vein that feels hard, the swelling around the nipple is not rock hard, but feels quite firm, not red or bleeding. All the other teats appear normal. She was diagnosed with Cushing's Diseases in Jan 2017, could this be something to do with that? Or something more sinister. She appears to be in good health, in fact has more energy than since she was a young lady. Her eating and drinking are normal. I look forward to hearing your advice. Thank you.

We have a 10yr okd female dog that is not spayed. She gets false pregnancies from time to time. We recently started her on a new food to lose some weight. She lost weight, but is drinking a ton and now cannot control her bladder and her nose is dry. In addition 8 of her 10 teats became very swollen. Hard as a rock...from what I can tell there is no secretions, but she won’t leave them alone and keeps licking them. She lets us touch her and doesn’t yelp or jump as if she is in pain either. Any idea as to what could have happened so abruptly from last night to today? Can I do anything at home to help until we can see a vet? Cold or warm compresses? Medication to help with inflammation?

My 2 year old spayed Chiweenie has what seems to be an abscess on one of her nipples and one other seems to be swollen and irritated as well. I put Sulfodene on both along with her cone so she can't bite them. She was fixed in 10/2017 and had puppies before being fixed.Her behavior is also much calmer and she's less social.

Last night I noticed that 2 of Zoey's nipples were enlarged with red splotches. I read in a previous experience about being in contact with estrogen cream. Would that also cause the red splotches? What can I do about it?

I recently checked my dog when I was outside playing with her and I noticed that one of her nipples seemed to be swollen. It seems to look from the inside though. Theres various small bumps that leads to show the swelling. Im wondering if this could be a cause of an insect bite? Or maybe she has developed some sort of infection or disease. I really want to know as soon as possible so I can be able to get medical attention for her.

Hello, I have a spaniel who is around a year and half old. She’s never had puppies or been pregnant but her nipples have been swollen since her 1st period. They go up and down in size but mostly swollen all the time. I’m getting worried as she’s had her second season now and they are still swollen? Please help I’m worried about her

My English Bulldog is pregnant and due to have pups within the next week. Her nipples are swollen, which is normal, but a couple of them near the back also appear red and are warm. Is this something to worry about? This is her first pregnancy. I'm monitoring rectal temp which is normal for now.

My 11 month old Pitbull had her first heat a month ago. She was not exposed to a male dog, so I know she is not pregnant. However, her back 4 teets are swollen, and look like they could be full with mik, but nothing comes out when I tug squeeze. Her nipples are pink only on those 4 teets. They are not painful to the touch. She actually enjoys me touching them, like when she is getting a belly rub. She has a normal appetite, (which means always hungry lol). The only real change I've noticed is that she seeks attention way more than she used to. She will sit a stare at me with a small whimper until I give her attention. My concern is, Why are her teets so swollen?

Hi so Clara is a pom Shiba inu mix she is almost 11m old. Ever since her first heat I noticed that her lower 4 nipples are swollen almost like milk glands. Could this be a false pregnancy and if so how long can they last. Her heat was over I think a month ago. Also she does occasionally throw up but this has been a ongoing problem that we are already trying to figure out.

My dog has a swollen nipple. She is acts normal runs around jumps up and down. She is an active old dog but when I touch the nipple she jumps up. Also she is about 11 or 12 year old . I feel like it gets worse every week.
What do I do?

My dog just had puppies 3 days ago and one of her nipples towards front is swollen, hard, very red. It doesnt look like any of the other nipples. What do I need to do and what is the issue? Please and Thank you.

Lola is a American bulldog. She has never had puppies and is fixed. Ive noticed this past week that only one of her nipples is about 2x bigger than the rest and very pink. I touched it to see if she was in pain or possible bite but it did not seem to bother her. I did notice that shes lost some weight though she eats twice a day and hasn't lost her appetite, & her personality hasnt changed a bit. Please advise

What should I do? We took him to a vet they said it was whooping cough so they gave him meds for it. They helped but then he got worse. He is thinner than usual even tough he has the same amount of food. He also has 2 swollen nipples. You can now see his ribs and spine the vets just say to feed him more. But his severe coughing continues. It happens every time he breathes. I don’t know what to do I am really scared as he has been part of the family for years and my daughter loves him so much, What should I do? By the way he is a boxer male.
