It depends on the age. If it is really young it might or might not grow back.. If it is older it might, but if you were showing it before, and it has a toenail missing, then that rabbit might be eliminated because of it if there is a large amount of rabbits.

1. Hold its paw and examine the nail.

2. Take it to the nearest vet.

3. Tell him/her what happened.

4. If you are in a hurry, do this:

Get a small tissue. Put it in a little water and put it on the nail. Hold it there till it stops bleeding. When it does, gently remove it. Throw tissue away immediately. Rub its nail and you are done!

P.S: I'll tell you a secret. You can stroke it while you do it, so it feels safer.

don't kill them take him/her to the vet.

If your rabbit's nail falls off, you should apply pressure to the paw with a clean dry cloth until the bleeding stops. Then, keep an eye on the area to make sure the nail grows back and there's no signs of infection - examine it a few times a week.

If you notice any pus, or any swelling that doesn't go away after a few days, or if you notice the rabbit trying not to stand or hop on that foot, then you should bring the rabbit to a vet. Don't wait if you think something might be wrong, because if the infection spreads you may have to amputate the toe or even the entire foot!

If the area looks fine, the nail grows back okay, and the rabbit is moving around fine and doesn't show any signs of illness, then you don't need to see the vet - but make sure to mention what happened at the next regular check-up, so the vet can take a look at it and give you a professional opinion about how it's doing.

In the future, keep your rabbit's nails clipped so that they don't easily get caught in things and torn out. Also, look around the rabbit's habitat for anything that might have caused this accident, and fix it.

If your rabbit's nail falls off, there are three things you can do:

You can look at the finger daily to make sure that it's okay and that the nail is growing back fine. If you notice any pus, or any swelling or bleeding that continues for more than a day or two, or if you notice your rabbit trying not to stand or hop on it, you should bring the rabbit to a vet as soon as possible because it could be infected. If it is infected, the longer you leave it the more infected it will get, until the toe or even entire foot may even need to be amputated - so, deal with it immediately before any permanent damage happens.

You can look around the rabbit's habitat to find out why the nail fell off. Maybe it got caught in a crack or something - see if there's any changes you can make so that it won't happen again.

You can keep your rabbit's nails well-trimmed in the future. Really long nails are more likely than short nails to get caught and break off. If your rabbit fights you and won't let you trim his nails, then go to the vet or a professional groomer to do it - but make sure whoever you go to has experience and knowledge in rabbits, because they're very different from cats and dogs.

If your bunny has broken a nail, or if you have cut too close to the blood vessel, apply pressure with a clean towel for a couple of minutes, til the bleeding stops. If you like, you can use styptic powder (available in drug stores), plain flour, or even a bar of soap rubbed on the end of the nail to help stop the bleeding. If the nail breaks off right at the base, clean the area thoroughly with Nolvasan (you can get it through your vet), and apply a thin coat of regular triple antibiotic ointment, such as Neosporin (not Neosporin Plus, or any other product containing cortisone). Try to keep your bunny in as clean an environment as possible til you can see your vet - to prevent dirt from contaminating the injury site. Be sure to see your vet for followup care to this second kind of break, since bacterial infection can travel to the bone and cause serious problems.

Your guinea pig is bleeding and you are not sure if its bleeding from the nail or skin?

Did something happen? It is most probably bleeding from the nail unless the nail is looks perfectly fine. They have a blood quick in their nails so, if it gets hurt and the nail is broken or hurt, that is where they are bleeding from. Clean it off with a wipe if you can. You can cover it in baby powder and the bleeding will stop. Just watch your guinea pig and make sure that it isn't limping or yelling out in pain. If it is, then you should take it to a vet as it might be infected.
