Scratched the inside of my nose way up trying to get a rabbit hair out and it's bleeding. put some ointment up there. any risk of infection?

Should be fine...: I highly doubt you will develop an infection but keep an eye out for excessive bleeding, worsening pain, warmth, redness, drainage, and fever. If any of these begin, it might be a good idea to get an exam. Best of luck!
