Help!
My bunny Mocha jumped off from my bed just now and when I went to pick him up, I noticed a dot of blood on my t-shirt where his front paws usually rest. I scooped him up on his back so I could take a closer look and noticed that the thumb nail on his right paw was bent with some fresh blood around the base. I gave it a gentle nudge to see if it would go back but of course it did not and he freaked out (understandably so, I'm sure it was hurting a lot)!
Does this mean it's broken? What should I do to treat it for now? How much would it cost to take him to the vet for this sort of thing? Right now he's just licking it a lot but I'm worried of course about infection. Should I rinse it with water and wrap it up in some bandages for now? What if he tries to chew through that?
