Its good that he did well with the anesthesia because most dogs with shunts do not do well.
I'd ask your new vet for a full blood panel and a bile acid test to be done.
dripping urine after surgery is normal. hopefully an x-ray was taken after the surgery to ensure all the stones were removed. the dripping should stop soon and he should be back to normal.
