When I had to do this (last month due to a UTI) I scruffed Toby (with him sitting between my legs, i.e. indian style), then I would stick the syringe back as far as I could go and squirt it quckly...If I got it back far enough, he swallowed it, however, if it was at the wrong angle (pointing up or straight back) he'd cough, spit it out, etc. You can try giving it to her in smaller doses, i.e. only 1/3 of the syringe contents at a time.
