sh!t. Sorry to hear that. Hope you have a speedy recovery.
Thanks for the reply's. 3 lovely days in hospital with the finger cut open and part of the wrist washed and cleaned out and on a antibiotic drip for 24hrs. Allowed home this afternoon so Christmas day going to start tomorrow. Looks like I lost the use of my left hand for a couple of months got to go back next for a follow up op on my tendons and pyshio.Don't be under any illusion that compressed air and oil is safe and the worst substance that can be injected to the wether in the blood or skin is hydraulic oil.
Our cat bit me last year - I ended up in hospital on intravenous drip for 2 days as well as having about 6 puncture wounds surgically removed , it's the small injuries that catch you out !Wasn't liking the fact you've been in hospital, more the fact that it proves however minor you think it is, get it checked out Look after yourself

+1 long and not very pleasant story but got bit by my dog few years back. Cleaned it off and carried on as you do, then a month later it went all swollen and was agony so went to a&e had it flushed out and put on a drip for 3 days this happened 2 more times in the space of the year!! Fortunately seemed to have sorted now this was on the joint of my thumb, the meaty bits of my wrist was fine tho!Our cat bit me last year - I ended up in hospital on intravenous drip for 2 days as well as having about 6 puncture wounds surgically removed , it's the small injuries that catch you out !

Amazing how little things can bugger you up I was out of work for over a month, and my thumb is still not right.
A blackthorn will also do this.A few years ago my brother slipped over in the cattle yard and grazed his hand, he washed it and carried on,
Later that night you could see his vein going red and infected, and tracking up his arm to his shoulder.
I took him to A+E and the nurse wondered why he had left it for days, where it was actually a few hours.
They said if it got to his heart then they couldn't do anything for him
