I knew I could count on you's for an answer.
The only thing I can see left of his nail is like a nub. He(my water monitor) ripped it outside and there was blood in his water bin. Not thinking it was a big deal I moved him back to his normal cage, and a few hours later I seen that his water bin in the cage was darkish...thought he may have went in it. But when i walked up...It was a pool of blood. First I cleaned his toe with a wet gauze pad, then I used the styptic powder a couple of times till he stopped bleeding. Then I put on some neosporin. After That I gave him three tylenol capsuls...just kidding. After that I let him hang on my lap while he sulked about it. He is all kinds of upset. He is now in his cage with just his head under a cave he outgrew. Thats all he can fit now. I can tell it still hurts him, he has his palm facing up while trying to rest and he keeps moving that paw up and then laying it back down.

Thanks for responding so quick Flavia and Tmom
