If Sara is otherwise acting normal and the bleeding has completely stopped then I would not be too concerned. She most likely tore a toe nail and it caused the bleeding. Continue to monitor Sara for the next day or so. As long as the bleeding does not continue and she is eating well and otherwise acting like herself you should have nothing to worry about. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck.
