At less than 100 days bred, the babies are the size of large shrimp. With the blood and wet tail she has probably already aborted. Not sure how you would be hearing a heart beat, we can barely find kids with an ultrsound! I would just watch her closely and perhaps take her temp every couple of days to make sure she doesn't start up an infection. I know that hormones can be given to stop misscarriage, but most folks who use this type of thing already know the doe is one who misscarrys and uses the hormones as a prevention. Early abortion is actually pretty common I would be slightly more worried about a doe aborting at 100 days if your dates are correct. Only ultrsound would confirm if she still is bred. Vicki
