I wouldn't be that worried; I really don't think she needs to go to the vet ASAP as long as she's acting normally and drinking some! Reading the last post in this thread might make you feel better:https://www.guineapigcages.com/forum/threads/104833-How-much-should-they-drink . If you search "water drinking" here on the forum you'll find lots of threads about piggies drinking smaller amounts of water, and none of them looked to have ended in having anything going wrong.
In case it is something going on with the bottle, I would add a second one that's a different brand and/or size. To be safe you could add a water bowl temporarily, and for now I'd just give her nice wet veggies. If she's younger and smaller she probably naturally drinks less than a big adult piggy, and if she's been eating lots of lettuce that gives her a lot of water on top that.
