Hello. I accidentally cut the quick on my Hermanns nail. Obviously won't ever trim his nails again. The bleeding stopped almost instantly, just a drop and it was over. However, I put some antibacterial ointment on the nail just in case. How many days will this take to heal? How do I know if it's getting infected?
Cut the quick, now what?

IF you attempt this again, get some clotting powder from the pet store for just this sort of thing.
Place a flat, cement pad, an overturned ceramic tile or some flat terra cotta in the enclosure.
Something rough to walk on/over will keep nails worn down naturally.

In a pinch flour works as well, but not as well as the styptic powder
