My eight-week old pup was in love with a stuffed cat (and still is). And my four-year-old Bichon is madly in love with a stuffed dog. They hump these stuffed toys every once in a while. They are both neutered - and their behavior is totally normally. I just have to remember to move these stuffed animals before any company comes over.
Perhaps your little guy was a little stimulated by whatever pain or discomfort he was experiencing. I certainly wouldn't worry about it - but, think it would be good to separate them for now. As you said - they are not following the doctor's orders.
I think sometimes we just have to remember that our dogs "are dogs."
