The vet said her nipples are enlarged due to hormones. He thinks since she recently had her nails trimmed one of the sharp nails caught on her nipple while she was scratching and invited some bacteria into the teat. We're treating it with a 50/50 hydrogen peroxide/water solution 3 x a day and placing bacitration gel on it until it heals. It looks a lot better today! Dogs have amazing healing capabilities!
Lesson - file rough edges off of your pups nails after they've been clipped!
