Ok I came home today to my bfs beardie bleeding and the only spots that have blood is around her food bowl could she have bitten her toe while feeding or does this look like a hung nail or a shedding issue?
Worried beardie mom!

To me it looks like all three and I put cornstarch on it to stop the bleeding and once it’s all good I want to soak it in Povidone-iodine soulution but she wouldn’t even set still in her warm bath so I could clean it... I’m worried and have no clue how this happened! The only spot I thought she could of done it has absolutely no blood on it....
It looks like the nail got caught on something and twisted or pulled causing a bit of damage. As long as it doesn't get infected it should be OK. If she won't sit still in the bath you might try putting some plain neosporin on it or some manuka/raw honey and see if that helps. The honey can get really sticky on feet and wind up attracting more dirt though so if she's moving around a lot that might be best as an overnight treatment.
