I understand exactly how you feel, I went through this with my Ruby. She would do fairly good with meds and then suddenly go through a spell when she wouldn't take them any more no matter what. She never EVER liked being given her meds by syringe, but when she stopped taking them in food (I used to crush up all the pills and put them in whipped cream) I had to. It worked for awhile. I used a supplement recommended by my vet called Lixotinic. She didn't love taking it, but she seemed to like the flavor and would take it ok from a syringe. So I started mixing her meds into it and had some luck. But eventually she began fighting me so much it was all over her and me and when it dried on her fur it was almost impossible to clean off and she couldn't even lick it off! It's the most frustrating thing in the world to know they need something but won't take it. I really hope your vets can offer you some solid advice. The best I could ever do with Ruby was to straddle her, stick the syringe in the corner of her mouth and hope for the best.
If Artie vomited yellow, I wouldn't worry about it too much, especially if there was a hairball. Sometimes, especially if there's not much food in their bellies they'll vomit bile and it will be just a yellowish liquid. Ruby did this occasionally. I wouldn't be too concerned unless it starts happening a lot.
