1. He will be fine. Just keep him where he cannot jump around, and keep an e-collar on him for two weeks so he cant get at the surgical site.
2. If by desexed, you mean neutered, then no. You shouldn't leave him alone that early. You don't want him fidgeting down there. Stay with him, or take him with you.
3. If it was two days ago, he'll probably be fine. The biggest concern with that surgery is the anesthesia. You want to stick by them to make sure they don' thave any complications from that but if it's been two days that's already out of his system. So yes, he should be fine for an hour alone.
4. it should be perfectly fine to leave him, but be sure hes not messing with his stitches alot, my dog pulled his out after a few days.
5. As long as he’s been leaving the suture line alone then he should be fine. If you need to often remind him not to lick there, then he needs to be monitored by someone or have an Elizabethan collar. The worst is over as far as recovering from the anaesthetic.
6. Desexed, as in spayed? Sure! Its safe and okay to keep the dog alone! I fixed my rescue boxer and had to watch her so she didn't lick the stitches, but she was fine. I don't recommend leaving her alone for more then an hour with out returning to check up on her. Get her some interactive toys to keep her Active while your gone.
