I had to clean out my car this morning so I put her in her bed and carried it outside - she did give an attempt at barking at my neighbour ( normally would go up to him barking ) so she is at least getting back to her old self a little  Eating is fine - although I have still had to hand feed her scrambled egg and pasta so far today as she has turned her nose up at her dog food. Ah and she has perfected the 'what have you done to me' look  I have spoken to the Nurse at the Vets as the tablet crumbled to bits this morning when I tried to split it into four  she said not to worry too much about the water for now. I will take her out for a little walk later, just to the land next to my house and see how she gets on - Im sure she will want to go out when she see's her lead

Try putting a small t-shirt on her have you got any young children close by a babygro would be great stop her having a go at the stitches, and also mix a little bit of glucose into her water and if that fails equal parts of condensed milk and water just to try and get some liquid down her!!
