My pet's nail is bleeding after trimming. I used flour, is it okay?

Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 7 months old | 5 lbs

Was cutting her nails. They were very long so I wasn’t worried about the quick. And well she is bleeding. I put some flour on it. Will she be okay? She seems to stop dripping with blood. As I am writing this haven found any blood on cage floor

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Mocha. As long as the bleeding has stopped, she should be just fine. If it continues to bleed or starts up again, she should see a veterinarian. The doctor can stop the bleeding for you and trim the remaining nails. I hope this information helps!
