I need help with how to make up/give pro biotic.

Doris is currently on Baytril and the vet has given me 'Lacto B9' probiotic.
It instructs to mix contents with 100ml of water then put in their bottle. But Doris doesn't drink that much and the vet said I could try using just half a sachet with 50ml.

Tilly drinks from the same bottle, I know it shouldnt do her any harm but Doris doesn't drink as much and I want to make sure she's having it. Is there any other way I can give it to her?
 
When i was giving probiotics to my boy when he had dental issues he wasn't using the water bottle atall, so i mixed the pro's with the water as per the instructions and syringe fed the water to him, he seemed to like it, thing with putting it in the water is not controlling the intake, so i would advise carefully syringing the probiotic water to her rather than through the bottle. just a couple of drops at a time to minimise the inhilation of it.

Is she on Critical care? you could mix it with this? xx
 
No she's not on critical care as she's eating well at the moment. I don't know if I have any more syringes, may have to take a quick trip to the chemist.
 
The vet is over an hour away, so chemist is nearer. Used to work there so I'm sure I can nab some for free :)
