Thanks for reaching out about your guinea pig. A veterinary visit is recommended, tonight if still bleeding, tomorrow is no additional new blood. Fractured incisors are common, as is nose trauma. Teeth can be difficult to determine if fractured as can be below the gum line. Monitor for appetite. Good luck.
