My puppy's nail bled after trimming. Should I worry about infection?

Question

Hi, I trimmed my puppy nails and when I got to the last one I unfortunately trimmed too much. After I made the cut I saw some blood but then it stopped almost immediately. She didn’t cry and now the nail looks kind of shiny but it’s not bleeding. I’m worried about infection, what should I do? Thanks in advance Ps she is a 4months puppy and she is a mix of toy poodle and Pomeranian. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 4 months and 4 days old | 4 lbs

In general, a nail that is only cut a little and not too bad should not be a high risk of infection. Make sure to keep the nail clean and dry. Make sure that Poodle is not licking at the nail. Monitor it closely for any signs of a problem and have Poodle examined if needed. I hope this helps.
