I'm a bit late to the party with this but just putting this suggestion out there too - Dora wouldn't take her metacam so I defrosted a cooked pea, punctured the shell just a little and squeezed out one half of the pea itself. Fiddly but worth it! Then syringed in the medicine. Poor Dora fell for it every time as she loved peas and - voila! medicine taken!
