Sorry to hear about that Mecca, but it sounds like y'all got it identified early, so that's good.
And whoever said get syringes from other instead of your vet, I agree with that. You can also request some from Hy-vee as well, usually it's free.
I'm assuming the medication you're being given for your cat is orally? If so, a suggestion is to get a old bath towel/blanket, and just try to wrap your cat (with it's head sticking out obviously) like a burrito, so that way you don't get clawed (if not de-clawed) and also helps keeps them still so they don't fidget around while providing the meds orally.
Also when providing it orally, gently grab their cheekbones to immobilize their head for a brief moment while administering the meds.
