I did this with Potpie - i brought Pet Tinic along for Potpie's most recent
vet visit.  Last visit, Dr. Daldin tried to scruff Potpie and got a handful
of teeth instead.  So, for temperature-taking (always a blast) and both
shots, i filled a syringe with Pet Tinic and the distraction worked
*beautifully*.  No flinching, squirming, nothin' - just Potpie busily
concentrating on getting every last molecule of treat away from me.
 
Of course, it was hard to keep the treats out of her sight until that point-
they're insufferable if they know there're goodies somewhere nearby - but
that was a relatively minor inconvenience.  :)
