Unhappy HELP giving liquid medicine...she hates it!!!

We found out our little Zoey has Giardia. The vet gave us a white chalky liquid. We gave her for 1ml for 5 days, then wait 3 weeks and give 1ml for 5 days again. Well, she did fine the first 5 days and let us give it to her through the dosage syringe. 3 weeks later, our luck changed and she wouldn't even let us get near her with the syringe. We force feed it to her the first 2 nights, but the struggle was too much on night 3....so I decided to inject into her Stella and Chewy treat - she reluctantly ate the last 3 doses. We just found out she still has Giardia. UGH! here we go again. The vet prescribed a new med, still liquid, but this stuff needs to be refrigerated and is chicken flavor. Well - i thought, it's chicken she'll eat it. This time I put the dose on a small plate on the floor for her to eat. 1st dose she took beautifully. 2nd - not so much. We're not even going to try force feeding her, she runs as soon as she sees the syringe. So I thought let me give it to her with her Stella and Chewy treats again. Nope...the treat just sits there. I have lost 2 doses (2ml) of this new stuff. We are at a loss I don't know what to do. This stuff is expensive $45. Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!!!
