I have trimmed my bunnies nails lots of time with no problems and yesterday i trimmed it to far and made it bleed a little. I feel awful. But now she wont let me check on it and i was wondering if they can get infected or just its sore and hurting her . She is also grunting at me when i go to have a look at it

I've done that before and not been allowed anywhere near to check it! If he's ok in himself otherwise I'd just keep a close eye but if there are any other concerns have a low threshold for getting him checked over. It makes you feel so bad doesn't it!
 
she never used to grunt at me when i have done it before but now she is grunting everytime i go near her. I was wondering if it could get infected by her litter tray as her foot sinks in to the litter she puts her feet in the area she wees. How would i know if its infected
 
Is she limping or walking any different as this would be a red flag that she is hurting alot.
Its quite common to over clip, even my vet did it last time I took bun and she was so embarrased! Vet had a stiptic pencil that she dabbed on and it stopped bleeding but did make bun jump as it stings, I hve heard of others using corn flour to stop bleeding.

Sure she will be fine as most bunnies get an overclip at sometime.
