rabbit toe nail question

[coco.rabbit]

hello! im currently doing a routine trimming of my rabbit, Coco's, nails and I noticed something unusual. one of the nails on her back leg is curved downwards and angled in a way that makes the nail super round and hard to cut. im worried that it might continue to grow like this and ultimately curve in on itself. I was wondering if someone here might know why its like this and if theres someway that I might be able to cut it. thanks for any advice in advance!!

That happens sometimes. The cat nail trimmers from the dollar tree can get nails like that pretty easily, you definitely want to cut it.

Might be tough with the color of Coco's nails, but if you use a flashlight to light through them from behind, you'll be able to see the quick, and hopefully not cut into it!

But, if you do, c'est la vie! Have some cornstarch on hand to stop the bleeding, but she'll live!
