I just cradle them on my arm and put my thumb and index finger around the neck. Then push the syringe in until they open up. Squirt slowly at the side of the mouth to prevent aspiration. Unless they really like the food it's usually a chore. As I said in the other post, hopefully a few days on pred will bring her appetite back so she'll eat on her own.
