Until the vet gets back besides the hydrogen peroxide cleaning, I would then then soak foot 
in warm epsom salts/water mixture.  Wrap the entire foot with gauze and vet wrap.  Good 
idea to have vet check for foreign body when they return. Quick injuries are extremely painful 
for our pyrs and keeping the foot wrapped does help with that.
