My brother is a veterinarian and knows about being dog bit.
He says squeeze it to make it bleed for as long as you can stand it then scrub with something like Hibiclens. He advises to keep the wound open so you can continue to clean out any infection that is there, even removing the scab to let it drain. The animals teeth pushes the bacteria into the flesh and it is difficult to get it out.

I can imagine! I got bit by a little kitten last year; tiny little teeth, like needles, but the wounds were deep.
