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!

This would be hard to determine because it depends on how many stitches, and where the stitches are on your body.
Can dogs get stitches without anesthesia?
No. Administering stitches to a dog is a painful process and the dog might react violently due to the pain if the vet tries to put on stitches without sedating him. So it is best to sedate the dog before trying to sew him up.

How can I keep my dog from licking her stitches after being spayed?
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.

Can you give a dog a bath with stitches?
maybe it all depends how long your dog has had the stitches in and if they are opening. If they aren't just SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY bathe away from the stitches then take VERY LITTLE soap and lather up the skin and fur around the wound. When done hand wash the soap VERY CAREFULLY, this could take awhile but you don't want the stitches opening or getting infected
