How can I help my cucumber vine?

I have a cucumber vine planted in a pot and it has yielded about 20 cucumbers so far and it was beautiful and lush. We had to be away for 3 days and a neighbor took care of the watering as I instructed but when we got home it was almost completely wilted; had brown leaves throughout and the 2 small cucumbers still on the vine had a hole in them with one having white ball like spots coming out of the hole. I cannot seem to find out what happened. Since returning I have been giving it more water because it has been very hot and while it seems to be improving it's still not what it was. Any advice on what might have happened and what can be done? TIA
