How long would a shallow cut take to heal?
I didn't cut myself, I was holding my cat when my dog started barking. He started freaking out and cut my arm, rather deep for a cat scratch, with his back paw. Its puffy, but not infected, and hurts a lot whenever I bend my arm or something touches it.
How long do you think it will take to heal? How bad will the scar be?

Well, it depends how you manage it! Make sure you keep the cut clean and germ-free by making sure you don’t touch it or get it dirty outside. Also, appling something like Neosporin can help speed up the healing process and prevent germs from entering the wound. Plus, only putting on a bandage when it is bleeding or when you go outside will help it heal. Finally, I don’t think you will get a scar unless it is a really deep cut or if you pick the scab that will form. So just take it easy, and let nature perform its magic!
