Haven't applied peroxide since yesterday. Been trying to keep it dry. Been using antibiotic spray ever so often. Also in regards to the 'puss' I am fairly certain that is just some leftover neosporin. I hope.

You want it moist, not wet. Me no likey peroxide for much of anything. You want it to drain until it is ready to stop, or it can scab over and end up forming an abcess. Cover with a bandaid. Look closely at the nail bed, is it intact?

that is coal oil boy, he is in Texas after all. BTW Tom, don't do that.
For the dog bite on the finger, I would usually go with Augmentin(anti-biotic)
Soak in warm salty water, 15-20 minutes at a time, few times a day, good for the finger or the toe. If you are going to use the whirlpool deal, you want to rinse it out with a 10% bleach solution, 1 part bleach, 9 parts water post soaking.
I will say it again, cover with bandaid, anti-biotic cream is better than ointment. Neosporin frequently causes contact dermatitis.
