Can you get her to the vets Gazmo? How has the tooth snapped?
If they are uneven they will need clipped level. The bleeding should stop soon and the blood does tend to look more than it actually is when spread over her fur.
Keep her calm and I would suggest maybe a bin cage for now if she has been chewing. Her mouth will be sore so feed soft foods for now like babyfood and porridge as well as soaking some of her mix to soften it.

its her bottom left one, shes snapped about a third of it off, so its a big gap :/

shes had blood on her nose before and I though it was nothing but theres a lot that's come out of her nose :S

im just gonna call the vets when mums off the phone, I think it opens at 3, so il rush her down then

what does the nose bleed mean?

Do you know how she broke her tooth? If she's had a fall or something similar, then the nosebleed could easily be a result of that.

Good luck at the vets later and I hope it's nothing too serious.

nope, it was fine thismorning when I gave her her medicine, I don't know what happened

I'm not sure why her nose is bleeding but if she has been bar chewing and got the teeth stuck in the bars then struggles they can push on the nose and case something to be damaged inside. I lot of blood in the mouth can move up into the nose too so I don't really know. The vet needs to examine her.

okay, thanyou very much

Poor poor pebbles. Let us know how she gets on

Hope she`s okay Gazmo. Seeing blood is never a good sign especially when they damage their teeth. But your vet will see to it for you and probably trim any uneveness in the teeth to make her comfortable again and be able to eat. She`s either fell or been bar chewing. Maybe think about puting her in a tank style cage if sh`s not too well at the moment if you have one? Moreso if you catch her chewing at bars.
