Thank you so much everyone. Turns out I was worrying for nothing (at least this morning) I put the medicine in the syringe and a blob of mashed banana on the end and Peggy came to the cage door and bit the syringe for the banana and I was able to get the medicine into her mouth too. She was even awake when I woke up so I didn't even have to wake her.

She still won't let me pick her up though and tried to jump out my hand when I tried! Which now begs the question why was she good as gold for the vet and not me?!
