I got mine fixed at 6 mos, b/c it was Labor Day and I was home to watch him for a few days. I had a similar problem. And, the surgery is so 'routine' that many dogs feel just fine the next day. Talk to the Vet, some Vets have printed handouts of what to expect. But, if there is a concern, you can go with an Elizabethan collar for a week, so that he can't get at the site, and will be less included to run around...
You can also keep him crated and on leash. BTW, when my dog was allowed to run around... he was worse than before the surgery
... b/c he had been cooped up and not allowed to run.
