I had my pet castrated two days ago. His stool has been runny after surgery, but should I take him to the vet? I've been giving him post-op medications in the morning and evening.

The pain killers can cause diarrhea (runny stools) and vomiting. If you're pet feels fine (is active, eats well, is drinking, is not vomiting, the wound looks fine) then there is no urgent need to go to the veterinarian. You can give him cooked rice (no added salt) with chicken (without skin). You can additionaly buy stool hardeners which contains kaolin and pectin - you don't need a prescription to buy them. Give him a rice-chicken diet a couple of days and then start giving slowly his cibbles again. If the diarrhea woun't stop in a day then I would discountinue with the pain killers. You should look if he is fine without them. If he is lethargic, feverish, then contact you're vet immidiately.
