[quote kap]My finger got punctured with two holes and bled. I put peroxide immediately afterwards. Hopefully, it will not turn into something worse.
I think you'll survive. Dog bites usually aren't nearly as bad/dirty as cat bites. BF's bite sounds similar to yours. His was deep and looked bad, but it healed up just fine.
Mine was on my arm - I was wearing a thick robe at the time, so the dog never actually drew blood. It ended up looking like a vampire had tried to get me - two puncture-like marks that were more like blood blisters. I ended up with a really large, gross bruise that was 3" in diameter. Hurt like hell but healed up almost completely within 2 weeks. The faux-puncture marks ended up scabbing over and scarring. Although they never broke the skin, they were DEEP wounds.
