Dehydration in baby BCC

I've got a small BCC that regurged a few times back in December.

She has now eaten and held down for 3 consecutive feedings, but
she looks skinny and appears dehydrated.

I tried putting her in a tub with 1/4 inch of warm water
yesterday in the hopes that this would help her but I'm not
sure if it did or not.

Injecting her with saline seems kind of drastic as she IS
eating. Is there something else I can do. I'm very apprehensive
about giving her anything bigger than a small hopper. How long
should it take for her to begin to fill out again?

Thanks for any advice.
