Wow, sorry to hear this. Keep it clean and get some quick stop for bleeding dog toe nails to help stop the nail area from bleeding. I also have used baking soda and baby powder if I didn't have the quick stop. Keep an eye on it for infection.

Have you heard of styptic powder or styptic gel? It's been used on my birds to stop bleeding, and I'm pretty sure it can be used on reptiles too.
