ok so!!! SCARY THING IN RELEVANCE TO THIS JOURNAL: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7725621/ (pls read this also if you havent )
BUT THIS PIC here: http://puu.sh/qiMMO/44e58fbe14.png the dark spot closest to my thumb
i was getting a close look at it, and i gave it a little squeeze to get a feel for it
and it suddenly bust open! it was like.. really watery blood?
i freaked out but decided it might be best to clean it up, and maybe get all the stuff out of it?
so i squeezed it gently for a while and wiped the blood away with an alcohol pad
it's empty now, just letting out a little bit of blood, and its like.. a little crater?
i covered it in gauze and wrapped it up for now ;;
i reallycant afford to go to the vet right now ugh

Either way, my best advice would be to make sure that no puss / weird stuff builds up (aka keep it cleaned ) and keep an eye on it. As long as she seems to be fine. I would also take notice of how is smells. I know that's weird, but if it smells sickly, then it could mean something worse? Just keep an eye for things like that. Or a nose, I guess?
Keep an eye on how he/she is acting as long as you don't see signs of him acting strange you should be ok.
If you can, wash with saline water, antibiotics, and wrap and make sure your pup doesn't mess with it. I would avoid using peroxide at all costs since it can actually kill the healthy cells trying to close the wound.
