QuestionDuring a nail clipping session with my rabbit, he was startled and kicked. When this happened one of his toenail ripped right off! There was excessive bleeding, but stopped within a couple minutes. Looking at his toe now, there is no nail left. Should I be concerned? His running/hopping around normally.
Thanks
AnswerHonestly, it's not much to worry about :-)
These type of wounds bleed a LOT and that's totally normal. It really isn't an uncommon injury and 99% of the time the wound will heal without any need for medical intervention. Unless it continues to bleed, becomes infected, or causes him prolonged discomfort, I really wouldn't worry about it.
Just keep an eye on the toe and give him a few extra treats. Hope that helps!
