As Debbie said in the other thread, using a towel can be helpful. Also punctuate the syringing with kisses...

Wrap him in a towel so he has his back to your stomach and that should work.
As above and whistle while you are doing it, sounds bonkers but it works for me with Joe think it sort of distracts him.

I wonder if you could mix the Baytril with something else to help it stop tasting so nasty. Baby food (veg or fruit flavour) might work! Also, when putting the syringe in, go in at the side of the mouth and ensure the teat is behind the back teeth - it makes it harder for them to spit it out!
