Have you tried tilting her head back a bit and putting it in the side gap just past her two front teeth? Yes it will be better with two, I sometimes stroke Doughnut's throat to try and encourage her to swallow as she also sometimes keeps it in her mouth! You could try putting it in front of her but really water it down so she can lap it up, if her teeth are hurting. So that it's not a paste consistency.
I would say in an hour or so, carry on with the metacam too, they can take both together. Doughnut is now on half a tablet twice a day and she's only 1kg so you should probably get a similar amount. If it is the tablet I cut it in half then crush it between two spoons. Put it in a glass then put the metacam on top (and also the ranitidine she is on), swish it around with the syringe so it dissolves a bit then suck it up into the syringe. You may get the medicine and she was on 0.1ml of that twice a day.
Let me know how you get on.
