It looks like she may have cut a little piece of her nipple and has a scab now. I wouldn't worry right now. I would monitor it and if she starts to lick it I would get her an Elizabethan collar. If it starts to get red and irritated I would recommend taking her to a veterinarian to have it evaluated. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
