Without examining Ellie T, I can't definitively tell you the cause of the changes in her nipples. However, given that she has not been spayed, she is at a higher risk of developing mammary gland masses. Other possible causes include infections or trauma. I recommend taking Ellie T to her vet for an exam. She may also need diagnostic testing to microscopically evaluate the cells within the abnormal/swollen tissues so that proper treatment can be started. I hope that all goes well!
