Poor guy. Most wounds heal within 7-10 days. Delayed healing occurs in older dogs and in cases of active infection. Nails can take several weeks to months to regrow. I hope this helps. Best wishes with Panda and if it is not healing well then a visit to vet is needed to get him started on a good wound management regimen. Take care.
