My dog has a swollen paw, no bone break (he had an ex ray)- so they just put him on anti inflammatory meds. That was yesterday. Today his paw is pussy, and I am wondering if I should clean it?

You should soak the foot in dilute Betadine solution. Warm water, add enough Betadine for it to be a light brown color. Soak 5-10 minutes 2-3 times per day. ( https://www.chemistwarehouse.com.au/buy/31058/betadine-antiseptic-liquid-hospital-500ml )
