Animal Smiley 049 patella surgery recovery

Tek had his patella surgery on Friday...he had the femoral groove deepened, repositioning of the tibial crest, pin inserted to hold joint stable during healing (it comes out in 8 wks) and some ligament work. He has Legg Perthes in that hip that was not caught until about 3 wks ago and he is 3 so they did all they could to help with the patella problem. Now the problem...he is feeling way to good already :/ He is wanting to jump and go up the steps outside...I am having to watch him like a hawk...any suggestions? The vet said "those lil devils can't be trusted and u need to keep a hand on him at all times if not crated" and now i know why she said that He is also licking the wound a lot..do i need to get the lamp shade thing? Any input is appreciated.
