I posted this to your other thread, but thought I would post it here too, just in case....





I realize this was posted in the evening, but thought I would reply with some thoughts in case anyone else experience this later.





You will want to seek out veterinary attention for your hedgehog. Try to get a good look at your hedgehog's foot. Is there a string/thread/hair wrapped around the toe? Hair can cause strangulation and could cause the nail to fall off. Hedgehog legs/feet/toes are fairly prone to getting threads/hairs wrapped around them. If this is the case you will need a vet anyway to treat the foot.





You don't mention the nail bleeding much at the moment. If it is bleeding, you can hold a piece of gauze against the wound and apply gentle pressure while you find yourself a vet that is available.





Even at night, you can call your veterinarian's office. Some veterinarians will leave instructions on where to go or at least a number to call if there is an emergency. If they don't, ask your veterinarian today what you should do when there is an emergency at night. They often can tell you who in the area can help.





I hope your little one is doing ok today. Good luck!
