Actually, puncture wounds usually don’t bleed very much. There are exceptions but, in general, cuts bleed more than puncture wounds. That’s one reason punctures are more likely to get infected; the bleeding “washes” germs out of the wound.
It’s been long enough now, though, that you would probably see signs if the wound were getting infected.
