Hi there. I'm afraid it depends on how severe the wounds are, and whether they're infected or not. If Thadiyan has injured his paw, I would definitely recommend taking him to the vet for an exam. He/she can prescribe antibiotics to help prevent infection and should be able to give you a better idea of how long it will take to heal depending on how it looks.
