Hi! Can someone help me how long after a Pyometra surgery can a dog have a bath and trim ?

The operation to remove an infected uterus is major surgery. I would not contemplate bathing a dog until after the stitches come out at 14 days post op. If the dog is very dirty due to the pup you could gently wash the back end but no full emersion.
