and now its gushing blood? Any ideas how to stop it? I'm at work with limited resources around me?

Flour / corn flour, dunk paw in!

Edit - I have no idea where you work, so perhaps you don't have flour :s

Vet perhaps?

Why did you take your Rabbit to work?

Shes not my rabbit. Someone at work found her by the side of the road, in the middle of no-where. This was her second time visit to the vets for a check up, thats why shes at work.

I've got a rabbit myself and have done his claws loads of times never had this before.

Shes off to the vets now so I'm sure they'll sort it out.

Thanks Hels, I'd read cornflower or a bar of soap but with being at work I have neither.

lol fair enough! I had this strange vision of you taking your Rabbit to work to cut its nails! Hope its ok :-)

I went into a panic cos it was gushing blood. Shes so adorable bless her. I'm hoping she's soon going to be an addition to our family!!

Ssssh, don't tell the hubby!!

Yeah nails that are cut too short bleed and bleed and then some! Even in much smaller mammals! Shame about the lack of flour - hope she's okay! :)

rub a bar of soap over it, thats a top tip trust me! it works!

Shes OK now, thanks everyone. Was a bit scary though, thought it would never stop.

For any animal Trimmex can be good its a stypitic powder and has antibacterial properties and instantly stops bleeding, can be bought at the Rat Warehouse, we use this for our rats and used it on our dogs as well. I know its no good for you now but maybe and incase for anyone else?

I would have put od cold flannel / rag around it and held it firm. It should stop any bleeding in a few seconds / minutes.

cornflour is a good option! I can't wait to meet her but don't introduce her to bo straight away there needs to be a quarenteen period.

Does there? OH I've not really thought this through then have I? It's only come about today. Hmmmm, I could block off the top and bottom parts of the hutch so they can have a floor each?

all sorted now then lol

Yes, thanks Tina. Thanks very much hun, don't know what I'd do without you sometimes!!

a bar of soap drawn accross as previous stated if you have cut the quick will stop the blood steve

Thanks, I will make sure I have some to hand for next time.

ouch! poor wabbit, bet it hurts. Dragging a bar of soap across it is bound to make it feel much better! *winces in sympathy*
