Expert Answer

The surgical wound usually heals in 5 to 7 days, and after cryptorchid surgery the dog may walk in about 3 to 5 days, or even the same day if it recovers well. It is best to walk the dog only after the wound fully heals.

After surgery the dog gets anti-inflammatory shots, then goes home; care for the wound and put on an Elizabethan collar to stop licking and infection.
