Stitches normally take 10 days to heal, give or take, so after 2 weeks the wound should be fully healed. It's likely she is licking and cleaning simply because she feels it and hasn't been able to get to it all this time.

I presume the vet told you they were dissolving stitches and you don't have to go back and have them removed?

if there was any infection there would probably be a smelly discharge - a magnifying glass and your own nose might be useful
