Make sure he is on a safe substrate that wont cause infection (such as paper towel).

You can soak the foot in dilute betadine (or if he wont sit still to be soaked you can put some dilute betadine in an eye dropper and drip some on his toe).

Watch for signs of infection, but it should heal just fine on its own

A little neosporin on the spot after the bath will help as well. If still bleeding, use a bit of clotting powder to stop the bleeding. The toe may have been damaged before you bought it and fell off in transit, or nipped not long before you bought it.
