Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Female | 2 years and 10 months old
Hi I had my rabbit out about an hour ago and I picked her up to put her back in her cage and she scratched mw and jumped out my arms and her paws are bleeding from the nails. I'm not sure how bad it is as she won't let me touch her to look but there is a bit of blood squirted along the side of her cage and I can't afford a vet bill at the moment and not sure what to do..

She probably broke a nail, it might still be hanging there and might need to be removed. I recommend taking her to the vet, they will put her under sedation if needed, will remove the nail and stop the bleeding.
