And was very upset I let Max gain so much weight, so it shows he's concerned for his health and well being. Max is on the bed tonight playing and won't listen that he's suppose to take it easy.

I understand what you're trying to defend here.
But honestly a "good vet" wouldn't have said "go get BABY ASPIRIN"...!! Do you realize this poor little vulnerable creature had
major abdominal surgery...??? An undescended testicle results in
abdominal surgery - which is major, and
PAINFUL.
A "good vet" would've sent that poor baby home w/ a pain injection already on board and a prescription level pain medication to give for the next 5 days. I'm sorry, but in my opinion - you do
not have a good vet here at all. In fact, I'm really pretty appalled by the lack of care given this poor innocent baby.
You need to advocate for this little one, he's relying on you - and only you - for that.
