Think the vet accidentally removed our dogs nipple!
Discussion
Yes really 
I'll start from the beginning. Our 7 year old female pug has had two or three mole like growths on her belly for ages but lately my wife spotted one had got bigger and a couple more had appeared. Here is the big one.
She was taken to the vet who suggested having them removed and sent for testing. The Op was carried out and the Vet said once the Fur was shaved, another growth was found and removed. We thought nothing of it at the time and the dog was perfectly happy.
Fast forward to this weekend. We thought we'd check how she was healing prior to having the stitches removed and noticed this:
We're sure the red arrowed stitch used to be a nipple, the green arrow is where the corresponding left one is located, hidden by fur.
The wife will be asking the vet when the stitches come out. She was spayed (the dog, not my wife) years ago so doesn't need them but obviously want an explanation.

Not overly fussed about the dog being one nipple down. She doesn't need them and if it had an issue we'd have it straight off no problem.
More that the vet 100% said she found another growth, nothing about infected/problem nipples.
I'd like to think she'd be able to tell the difference.
