Poor Buddy! If the cut is actively bleeding, you can use a washcloth or paper towel to apply direct pressure to help stop the bleeding. I would try to have him seen by a veterinarian this evening if possible, since he may need stitches depending on how severe the cut is. He may also need antibiotics to help prevent infection.
