I'm glad he is doing so well after his surgery! With boys, you probably don't have to worry as much about them being active right after the surgery. With girls you have to limit their activity so that incision has time to heal - since it is an invasive surgery that requires actually cutting through muscle and then stitching it back up. Lacy was too active too soon after being spayed and tore her stitches inside - she had to be reopened and stitched back up. But with a boy the incision is really only skin deep and smaller so not really a risk of them hurting themselves by being active right after.
