As long as she is able to completely swallow the water and has no other signs of a fever (lethargy, hot ears, panting, vomiting, restless behaviour) I would not be overly concerned. This may be a side effect of the anaesthetic or even the medication she has been prescribed. Continue to monitor for any additional signs
