I can see the skin starting to grow over the incision and kind of looks like puss (not to be gross ) but no oozing from any where so I a pretty sure it's new growing skin. Kelly will be calling me tomorrow so I will ask her, but does anyone have any advise for me besides don't touch another thing until advised ? lol.
Kelly:

I think you're right about the incision growing new skin. As long as you don't see an opening and there's no oozing, you should be okay...at least until Kelly calls you tomorrow. I actually have to confess that I took my steri-strips off too...however, I waited until they were starting to curl up and fall off! You're very perceptive....don't touch another thing until advised, silly rabbit!!!
