Ask your vet to but a cone on your dog. Also putting her in a piece of clothing would prevent her from getting at her stitches. If she is just licking them it really is not a problem. It's perfectly normal for a dog to lick it's wounds. As long as she is not trying to pull the stitches out I would not be concerned.

At What age can kittens be spayed?
They have to be at least 8 weeks old to be spayed or neutered. It doesn't have to be done so early, but it should be done sooner rather than later, as studies have shown that cats that are spayed/neutered later are at greater risk for certain serious conditions and diseases, such as Breast cancer. Also keep in mind that female cats can get pregnant as young as 4 months old, so if there is any chance of her meeting an un-neutered male, she should be spayed early.

Can you breed a female during her first heat season?

Does it mean your dog is going in heat if she starts humping dogs?
yes it does Another person here. Now, it could mean that, but not necessarily. Dogs, even spayed/neutered occasionally will hump other dogs over dominance. I have three spayed females, and they do it. It's not sexual interactions to them, just asserting their dominance. However, if she is doing it more to male dog, and she is bleeding, then she is most likely in heat. The best thing to do is watch her, keep her on a leash if she is bleeding, and put some sort of dog, or baby diapers on her. Be with her during all this time if you do not want puppies. You can also get your dog spayed. If she continues, and is not bleeding, then she is asserting her dominance. However, if it is with strange dogs, I advise to keep her away from them.

Is there anything safe you can put on the stiff stitches after spaying to keep them from sticking to the dog's skin?
Sometimes when the vet has spayed the dog they can often end the stitching (a knot) leaving a piece of the stitch too long that can dig into the dog's belly. Either you can cut off the extra or take the dog back to the vet (there should be no additional cost for this) and have them check the stitches out. Stitches don't stick to the skin, but are sewn in. The vet would have told you when to bring the dog back to have the stitches removed. If the wound looks good and the dog is irritated by the stitches (each dog, just like a human can heal quickly or slowly) perhaps it's time for the dog to have the stitches out. See your vet right away!
