Firm, swollen, warm to the touch, and painful mammary glands can be a symptom of Mastitis, a bacterial infection of one or more teats.

If your dog is either spayed, or not had a recent heat cycle and it isn't Mastitis, it's possible that it's a mammary tumor. Either way, it's a good idea to have your dog examined by a vet.
