Drenching Woes

I am doing cocci treatment on a dam raised doeling. The bottle babies are a breeze because I can just dump it in their bottles. However, my dam raised girl throws a complete hissy when I drench her. She is also the type of goat that holds a grudge. When she was disbudded, she wouldn't go near me for two weeks and I wasn't even the one who did it!!! I am drenching her with a syringe, so I am wondering if there is an easier way that won't have us both frustrated or is she going to always be my difficult one?

If you will use a drench gun like this it makes it easier. http://www.valleyvet.com/ct_detail.h...a-348b93077098 Also I buy the cherry snow cone syrup and suck up a couple of ccs with the meds. I have some that will slurp it down like this.
