Did something happen? It is most probably bleeding from the nail unless the nail is looks perfectly fine. They have a blood quick in their nails so, if it gets hurt and the nail is broken or hurt, that is where they are bleeding from. Clean it off with a wipe if you can. You can cover it in baby powder and the bleeding will stop. Just watch your guinea pig and make sure that it isn't limping or yelling out in pain. If it is, then you should take it to a vet as it might be infected.

What are the structures beneath the nails?
! Well, the part of the nail that we actually see is called the nail plate, and the skin is the cuticle. Beneath it is the nail bed and the matrix, and beneath those is the skin called the hyponychium. I don't know which three structures you actually need; I'm sure you could Google images 'the anatomy of a nail' and get a good diagram that could explain it better.

Yes so make sure your guinea pigs get their nails clipped regularly, and when the guinea pig's nails start to curve put the run on concrete so they can scratch away and ware their nails down. Bent nails can be painful so keep an eye out as it makes it easier for guinea pigs to dig out of the run.

Answeryou should check that it has not broken the blood circulation, if it has, bathe it in warm, salt water and keep it clean. If it hasn't, don't worry!!Answerif there is blood coming out of the nail, it has broken the blood circulation.AnswerIf its bleeding, a powder available from the pet shop such as quickstop will stem the flow. If you can't get to a pet shop then corn flour can make a pretty good substitute. Crumble some into a bottle top and dip the bleeding nail into it
