Jamie is 16 months old and I am having him neutered in a week. Our house is two stories and our bedroom where the dogs usually sleep is on the second floor. Do you think Jamie will be able to do stairs the night after his surgery? If not how long until he can? I can sleep on the couch downstairs if need be.

He should be ok, but I would use a leash and walk him slowly up them

Thanks. I bought a ramp so he doesn't have to jump in to the back of the car to ride home.

My vet recommended a couple of days of no stairs, but copper was an old boy when I got him so a youngster might be different.
I still think I'd wait at least a day and then be careful and use the leash like ACC recommended.
good luck!

we were told no stairs for 7 days, and if he "had" to walk stairs to make sure he "walks"
