  Baylor was doing zoomies and his foot started bleeding. His back foot was dripping blood from his toe area, but it stopped very quickly. He is due for a nail trim, so I’m thinking maybe he hit his quick? Anyway, he is eating hay and pellets, flopping over, grooming his foot and the rest of his body, and still does tricks, so I’m assuming he’s fine at the moment. Any idea what happened? Maybe he hit his nail on a tile or on the bottom edge of the xpen door?

  Sounds like he might have broken a nail? If the bleeding stopped it should be fine, maybe you can check it out when you trim his nails?

  This is a common injury. As Dana said, as long as it has stopped bleeding it should be fine. Don’t be surprised if the tail falls off (if it hasn’t already).

  Thanks so much! I’ll cut his nails soon and see what happened. It’s the next day and he’s still normal and eating and running, so I think he’ll be fine.

  God I hope not! 😉
  
  Sounds like it’s fine, I would still have a look, if the nail did break I would make sure there are no jagged edges and if there are, trim them if possible so he doesn’t get it caught on something again.

  Good idea! I’ll have to do that if I find that it is jagged. And no, I don’t think his tail will fall off 😂

  OMG, LOL!
  
  Sorry, autocorrect. Yes, you should probably check his tail too, just in case.
