Yes, toenail wounds can get infected! Don't let her out until she heals a bit. If you have to take her out for pee/poop purposes, take a short walk.
I'm more concerned about the bleeding. When I first got Romeo, I read somewhere how bleeding from cutting their nails too short will take a long time to stop, and you may have to take them to the hospital! Because of their small size, losing that much blood can be really bad! After reading that I decided to not cut his toenails myself and always wait til I go to the groomer...
I would keep a close eye on Daisy! Please keep us updated too...
I hope I didn't scare you, just take any type of bleeding in these small breeds very seriously...
