It is difficult to tell from the picture. Since the bleeding stopped and he seems to be resting you can choose to monitor him. Keep him indoors so that the wound does not get dirty if by tomorrow there is a vast improvement then you might need to just rest him and make sure paw is clean for at least a week. If not much better,have him checked by your vet.
