If it is anything like giving a shot to a jumpy horse, rap on the spot with your knuckle or fist a few times to get them used to you doing something there. After they are used to it and relax(or not), give the shot. After the thumping, they don't feel or notice the prick of the needle so bad and its not a surprise. Sometimes we remove the needle from the syringe and just stab the needle. Then pull it back a little if you happen to hit a vein and blood comes out. Insert the syringe and give the shot. Works well when giving more than one shot at a time. Horses are smart enough to know what a syringe looks like so it doesn't pay to wave one in its face. It's always nice to have a helper.
Only question I'd have is does it take a different size needle with a neck shot than a flank shot?
