Cleaning a carpet

Hi ladies!
Last week I wrapped some ground beef to put in the outside freezer. I put it and some frozen pork into a bag to take outside. When I went downstairs, something (can't remember what now) had to be taken care of so I put the bag down on the floor to take care of whatever-it-was----and forgot about the bag! It sat there for several days until we noticed the smell (Can't believe it took that long to smell it).
A lot of the juices have soaked into the carpet. We have a Little Green Machine and cleaned it as best we could. We have put a heavy layer of baking soda on the area and have left it overnight. I will vacuum it up this morning.
I'm not sure what else to do to clean the carpet. I am afraid I will have to pull it up and cut out the padding. Luckily it's not that big of an area so it shouldn't be too hard/expensive to replace. Anything else I should do to clean the carpet so it's clean and doesn't smell?

How did it turn out after you vacuumed it?
I think I'd pull the carpet up a bit and look at the padding underneath. If the juices soaked through, I'd go ahead and cut out the area that was stained, otherwise I'd worry about the smell remaining.
