I've had numerous dogs neutered...my own and many foster dogs (all older), and have never had a dog that needed two weeks of inactivity.
Also never been given pain pills to give to a dog after a spay or neuter either.
It's good if the dog is a bit uncomfortable...it helps them to stay quiet.
Don't let the pup..jump or run..take him out for relieving himself on a leash around the yard...and once the stitches are out or the wound is healed (usually a week to 10 days) you can go back to normal, gentle activity with him.
A neuter on a young pup of that age is a very, quick and simple operation...a spay is much more invasive.
