Water Bowls and Dewlaps

This beautiful little lady Blossom in addition to giving me and hubby regular heart attacks has a large dewlap.

Every so often I can see she's soaked it taking a drink. What do you guys do to help with this?

Currently using crock bowls although I do have a water bowl holder from manor pet housing as well where the bowls are set into it.

She drinks far too much for a bottle to be practical. I've heard of using a ball to help them but what type of ball?

I've no idea if it would help enough, but we have a ceramic rabbit specific bowl made by Denby - was a gift from a friend who collects - but it has a smaller opening than the bowl is wide. I wonder if something like that would help? So leaning over the edge would maybe move the dewlap out the way and keep it clean instead of dangling in?
Closest thing I can think of is a spaniel dog bowl, designed to keep ears out.
 
Oooh thanks I'll maybe give those a go. I've noticed it's more with shallow bowls I guess because the lip usually pushes the dewlap back.

Those ear prevention ones look great.
