hello everyone,
i'm new to the forums. My name's Jessica. I'm 20 and i have two bunnies--Jack and Hazel. Hazel is about 3 years old...Jack is almost 2.

anyways. I just trimmed their nails because they had gotten really long and i'm kind've worried about hazel. i cut one of her nails too short by accident and it bled a bit. (I feel so bad) She seems okay now though. (is eating a salad) should i be worried about infection or anything?


oh, and here's a couple pics (i only have 2 on my computer right now. I'll get better ones soon):

this is Hazel

Hello :wave: Welcome to RU.

I wouldn't worry at all about the nail thats bleeding - Hazel will probably lick it and keep it clean herself. Have a look in a couple of days and hopefully it should look clean and dry.

Don't feel too bad about it - it happens to us all now and then!
 
I've done it a couple of times:oops: . i keep some wound powder about for emergencies & just dab that on. keep an eye on the toe & make sure there's no infection, for next few days:D
