When my females start getting hard tits I always start them on amoxicillin and it is okay within a day. You try to find a vet opened today and see if you can get some antibiotics.

Another member posted this a while back, I have never tried it but it certainly could not hurt:

#2 Cabbage leaves for engorged teats,breasts.When early signs of Mastitis appear. My vet suggested this for Lola and it has worked WONDERS on reducing the swelling. I googled it and found that you tear one cabbage leaf ,cut it in half . Roll a rolling pin across it until some of the cabbage veins crush slightly. Apply to the engorged breasts and cover it with a cloth. Hold it in place for about 10-15 minutes.I did this 3 times a day.Her teats near her vulva was extremely swollen that they looked like two HUGE testicles dragging. I do express a little bit of milk since only one pup is nursing. I didnt believe the cabbage leaves would work so well but I did exactly as the vet told me to and I saw a difference after 3 applications in one day.Apply the cabbage leaves cool from the fridge.
