If she had stitches I would not clean her teeth until they have been removed. Your best bet is to ask the vets advice on Wednesday.

the stitches will dissolve. the vet said its still healing. i asked if i could brush her teeth, and he said it was fine. but im not sure if he meant i could start now or later. ill email him after thanksgiving.
thanks for the help!
