When should my adopted 2-month-old puppy's paw stitches come out?

Question

My 2 month puppy has stitches on her paws and when we adopted her two days ago she had them and I’m not sure when to take her to a vet to get them out. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | 2 months and 4 days old | 7 lbs

Sutures are typically removed 10-14 days after surgery. An e-collar (cone) should be used to prevent her from chewing them out before healing is complete. Contact the adoption agency to find out when she had the surgery and schedule removal accordingly.
