how long does it take oxytocin?

to begin working? (when administered to a cat)

Update:

my cat is began to deliver in the middle of the night. It was confirmed through e-ray that she has 8 kittens. Her labor slowed, I called the vet, he had me come picj up a shot of oxytocin ~ I just want to know how long it takes until it begins to work. I want to monitor her, and don't want to freak out prematurely.

Update 2:

WOW! I made some typos in the last statement...

my cat began labor ~

the vet told me to come pick up some oxytcin~

I really CAN spell~

    It will take from 5 to 20 minutes to see the effects. And you may want to ask the vet.

    why are you giving ocytocin to a cat? May I assume it is a pregnant cat? Why are you inducing labor? In a human, it takes about 20 minutes.
