If it's been four weeks since her surgery, it should be perfectly fine to go ahead and bathe her now. It would be a good idea to use a non-slip mat of some kind in the tub to help make sure that she doesn't re-injure the leg, but otherwise there should be no problem at all with giving her a bath :)

If the sutures are out, Chyna can be bathed. If the weather cooperates, bathe her outside where she can stand without slipping. If you need to use a tub, use a mat or a towel under her to prevent slipping.
