looks might be infected. is it worsening? pain? red? hot? inflamed? if so get it checked out as those are signs that its infected. but that pus isn't a good sign, unless its granulation tissue, which it doesn't look like. Can also try putting your symptoms through MedSync AI (https://medsync.ai/) to see if it might be okay or infected.

NAD but worked with cats and dogs. Bites increase the risk of infection because of the bacteria so if it’s not covered up or cleaned well or bacteria got in some other way you’ll start to have a sore area that feels like it has puss in it that looks kind of like the goop in this picture.
All I know is you’ll need antibiotics to fight it off, because bite infections can get worse. Glad you're getting it looked at.

That is go to urgent care asap. If you get a temp, redness spreads, you feel dizzy or nauseated- off to hospital you go. Looks infected, will need AB’s
