Default Has anyone ever heard of using the oxitocin nasal spray?

It may seem a very odd question... but i rarely ask so i am assuming if anyone in this world have heard of it ... will be a YTalker...
I came across this form of Oxytocin researching on a very different subject , which was used as part of a protocol to induce adoptive human mothers to lactate and be able to breast feed... another odd situation on it self but...
then came across someone who had no clue i am a dog breeder, but suggested this nasal spray form of oxytocin can be used in dog whelping for the same uses regular oxy shots ... and suggested it was safer because all of the excess rapidly gets discarded unlike regular oxy shots ...
Anyways... whoever knows what i am talking about will understand the question...
The observation caught my attention as at about 10 years ago i would say i had one of my females in bad "stuck" situation with a pup and an obviously inexperienced emergency vet administered too much Oxy and ended up causing a ruptured uterus and we had to spay her... second litter, had previously delivered 6 pups freely on her own, and this particular time had 5 pups , 4 out and one delayed , the remedy was to perform an emergency spay . As anyone reading can tell i was very upset as it was a championed female i planned to breed one more time ! after that i have my huuuuuge eyes wide oooopen anytime we need to use the oxy !!!!
Anyways... i found little about this by "google it" research... not going to be seen my vet soon so i thought i would ask it here !
The brand comercial name of this form of oxytocin here in america is Syntocinon®
Any inputs will be appreciated !
