It's just what happens. Before I got my fence I walked Hercules twice a day for at least an hour each time and also poddy breaks. One time he just wore a nail all the way down to the quick and blood was everywhere. I was too stupid to figure out where it was coming from at first.

Cornstarch (I heard) can be used to help stop the bleeding if you don't have any quickstop. Buy some quickstop or something similar next time you go to the pet store. It's just a powder you dab on the nail with a qtip which helps stops the bleeding.

Sorry for the trauma you're going through! I too never recovered from the first time I clipped his quick and now we go to the pet store to get them done.
