It could just be an engorged teat. Try expressing some milk from it. If it's a normal color, try putting a pup on it to get it to go down. If it's mastitis, the milk will have an off (pus-sy) color to it and the pup shouldn't suck on it and your mom will need to see a vet. This happened with one of my girls and I rushed her to the emergency vet at midnight only to be told it was an engorged teat. If the milk is a good color and a pup won't nurse it, you can try expressing some of the milk to relieve the pressure.
