Should be nothing to worry about. I had Pippi done two weeks ago and she did fine. She was pretty well out of it the day I brought her home and I was advised to keep her quiet for 3-5 days. (she has 5 bigger brothers and sisters). You won't want her to jump for a few days so you may need to find a way to keep her off the furniture, down off you etc. We used her crate. Pippi didn't really try to lick her stitches but I think the opening wa a little high on her belly and she couldn't reach it very well.
