How Soon After a Teddy’s Nail Quick Is Cut Can It Be Bathed?

A Teddy’s cut quick generally heals in about a week, and you can bathe it once the wound closes. Before healing, do not bathe, to avoid slowing healing or causing infection.

Cutting the quick causes severe pain and heavy bleeding with infection risk, so stop the bleeding and disinfect promptly. Trim nails regularly and avoid cutting the quick to prevent unnecessary harm.
