I would err on the side of caution and wait ten days.
She has fresh stitches and you don't want to get any water in them.

Re: how long after you got your girls spaying

It is a while, at least 2 weeks.

If you bathe them too soon after the surgery, the water can seep i nto the wound and cause a uterine infection that can kill them. Can be very deadly.

I suggest calling your vet and asking when is a safe time but I think it's at least 2wks-1mth. For her health, you just have to wait on the bathing.Chat Icon

ITA. They sell no-water wash cloths at PetSmart if you have to spot clean her in an area that is not near the incision. It looks like a big plush baby wipe.

You said the paper says 7 or 10, I would say at least 10. Call your vet, but go with about 2 weeks to be safe.

My girl was filthy from the surgery, all sweaty and matted but I just accepted it as I was petrified of her getting uterine sepsis.
