14 month got a Sugar Glider bite on finger (infected)?

My 14 month old daughter stuck her finger in the cage and got bit on her cuticle. It’s swollen and has pus in it. I squeezed some of it out but it so sore! I soaked it in peroxide for 10 minutes, wiped it with an alcohol prep pad, put Neosporin on it and then a band aid. Does anyone know if SG bites are horrible? Like worse than dog bites? They are exotic animals… I’m scared. The medical center won’t see her because I have a bill there. Will it clear it up on it’s own?
