I assume you are an antibiotics and they gave you a tetanus if you hadn't had one in a few years? If you haven't seen a dr. I would. They can also scrub the wounds to help prevent any infection
The first day of the bite it hurt a LOT. I didn't really find anything to help the pain but it did go away after about a day

I read your story and now seeing the bite, I would personally have a difficult time around that dog.
When Astro was snapping at us, it was just that. Four snaps sort of at your hand, but also in the air. You look like you got mauled.

I also agree.... not to close puncture wounds or bites.

I've got ab's (Amoxi) and started them today.

so please keep an eye on it....
