I would apply gently pressure to Kit's foot to stop the bleeding. Then bath it in warm water and antiseptic soap. Examine the wound, and if it is deep and/or long, then Kit will need to see a vet to have the wound sutured closed. If it's not deep or long, I would put an Ecollar on Kit to keep him from licking at it, and monitor it for signs of infection, which include redness, swelling, warmth to the touch, and pus. Should you see any of those signs, he will need antibiotics from the vet to treat the infection.
