withdrawal from Prednisone

My 1.5 year old got bit by a baby copperhead about 45 days ago. Luckily the snake didn't get him good and he had a baseball sized swelling on his neck by his saliva gland. Long story short with prednisone and antibiotics the swelling went down in three days but the gland was still rock hard and swollen. After two weeks of mild prednisone its soft again. He's completely off the prednisone now but seems very lethargic (as lethargic as a GSP can be without great concern).
I asked the vet of it's okay to start exercising him he's again and he said it should be fine. I'm worried I'm going to over do it. Anyone have a similar situation? Trying to gauge when he will be back to himself. Doesn't help that low temps here are 75 and highs in the mid 90's.
Thanks for any input in advance.
