The correct response is: It expresses uncertainty that the dog will be walked due to its sickness.
In the sentence, "If my dog is feeling better, I could take her for a walk," the conditional mood ("could take") indicates that the action of walking the dog is dependent on the dog's health. It conveys a possibility rather than a certainty.
