How soon can my high-energy dog exercise after neutering surgery?

Question

So Kapano just got neutered yesterday (11-5-18) he's 7 months old he was cryptorchid and it was his right testicle that didnt drop but they got it out. Since he's a medium-high drive dog, when am I able to start exercising him and what am I able to do because I know they're not allowed to run or jump for I think its 10 days? Pet's info: Dog | Belgian Malinois | Male | neutered | 7 months and 4 days old | 54 lbs

We normally recommend activity restriction until sutures are removed (if sutures were placed, these are normally removed around 10 days, sometimes up to 14 days later). I would call your vet and follow their guidelines since they performed the surgery and know what is safest considering his procedure, but in general we keep them with restricted activity for 10-14 days. Short walks at a slow pace on a leash are alright, but no running/wrestling/jumping. In some cases with dogs that have a high activity level, vets will presribe medication to help keep them calm/quiet so if this is an issue with Kapano you can ask your vet about a sedative.
