I suggest you call the vet. Many vets put a local anesthetic in the testicular cord during surgery. The local may have worn off and then it was painful so he is running away from the pain. Unfortunately they don't understand what is happening. Maybe the vet can dispense some pain medications for you to give him for a couple days.
