Bookmark or Share- Nipple swollen - hard, black and scabby | The Labrador Forum4,763. Location: South Wales. One of Pongo's nipples has swollen up and gone very hard, it is surrounded by a hard black crust like a scab. Been like it for a week or so.

It got bigger for about three days and then I’d say it’s remained the same except maybe now mostly a scab.
