Nothing wrong with asking for a quick follow up, status post surgery exam by the vet that did the surgery.
The good vets are glad to oblige. Telephone contact isn’t enough. Physical exam and possible lab work may be needed.
Complications do occur (rare with males) However I have learned it is best to err on the side of safety.
I would insist on a quick physical exam, if the vet minimizes or dismisses my concerns I would go to another vet.
I have done so in the past. In fact it was an emergency vet that found the hernia in the dog I mentioned in a previous post.
