Hi everyone, My rabbit slipped on the wood surface & blood started coming from the nail although it hasn’t ripped off. I wrapped it in tissue paper & there was oddly a bit of what appeared to be darkish blue blood. I applied pressure on the nail bed & put some flour on it & the bleeding has stopped. Does anyone know what the blue thing could of been :(. I’m keeping myself up late at night worrying about it. Fortunately he seems okay, eating & drinking normal.

Are you sure it was not just darker red blood than the initial bright red bleeding ? Blood goes darker as it dries. As long as Bunny's nail bed is no longer bleeding, it is not swollen and there is no sign of any infection/ toes being fractured then I am sure all will be fine. If in doubt then get your Vet to check Bunny over :)
