Hurt toe better minutes later?

[MiliaMalvae]

My little Tuslle is a year old healthy male. I was letting him play around my room having a great time when my crap AC made a terrible loud noise and scared us both, causing him to run rapidly on my carpet. I picked him up and gave him shelter in a blanket, making him feel safe for about 10 minutes. He didn’t struggle at all, just was scared. When I let him back down he hopped normally to his pin and started licking his right foot a lot. I thought this was odd so I picked him up again and checked it. I noticed a little bit of pink in his fur and when I gently touched the nail in that area to inspect, it easily moved out of place, kind of to the side. I was terrified and started calling hospitals but their bunny vets aren’t in today or they are booked. They suggested I try at a time they are available and said I should keep him from licking his foot. So after I close him up in his pin again and discourage the licking, I see that the toe is back in place. He doesn’t try to lick it anymore and he has been acting totally normal for the past 2 hours. Should I still try to find him a vet? Or is it not serious and I should just let him heal naturally and not let him out next few days?

I don’t think you need a vet. The nail might fall off though, there could be a break in it. Since he’s acting all normal now, it doesn’t seem like his toe was hurt, just the nail.

Keep an eye on him so you notice if he starts to limp or lick a lot at his foot again.
