Hi! Welcome to YT. Yes, you need to wait until the stitches come out before you bathe her. And yes, she is going to be
really skanky by that time.
If she's anything like my Gracie Ruth, she is going to revel in her stinkyness.
Fortunately it's only for a few weeks, I figured not having a bath and being nice and stinky was the least she deserved after going through the surgery.
