My bunny's bleeding!
I was trimming his nails. It's the third time I've done that and the first time I cut a nail too close. It didn't help any that I was in the process of positioning the clipper when he kicked and as a startle reflex my fist closed.

Man, rabbits bleed a lot from their nails. I've got some quite respectable sized blood stains on my shirt and pants from my attempts to keep him still long enough for me to staunch the blood. I think he's stopped bleeding now, but he won't let me close enough to tell.

He doesn't like me right now. T.T Not that I can blame the little guy.

I really wish I had some cornstarch.

Aw... poor bunny. That is a bad thing with pets that need their nails trimmed. He should be ok though, but just keep an eye on things. ^_^ He'll be right as rain given enough time.

Yeah. I looked up what to do online once the thunder quieted down for a while. Seems this sort of thing happens fairly often.

And he's a lot better this morning. He even seems to have forgiven me. The only really noticeable thing is that the fur around that nail is shorter because I'd tried to shave his toe so I could get at the wound more easily.

Ouch. That's not good.

Well, my little buddy is doing much better now. You wouldn't even know it happened except the fur is shorter there. (I kinda tried to shave his toe so the blood wouldn't mat his fur to badly.)
