Weeping Bottlebrush Tree in pot

I recently purchased a weeping bottlebrush in about a 7 gallon pot. It was meant as a gift to my daughter for her new yard. I didn't water it for a couple of days & went to water it, & it had wilted badly- only a few leaves are still green. All other leaves have turned brown & curled up. I'm pretty sure the tree will live, but do I do any pruning to help it put out new growth? I thought these were pretty drought-proof. Never had problems with ones I have in the ground. Any suggestions would so very welcome. Thanks, Shirley J
