I have an old doe who just loves being pregnant, but when it comes to raising the kids she would just as soon they be sent to boarding school! First check your doe's udder...I would do a CMT. If she needs to be treated for mastitis you need to get on it as soon as possible. If she's OK as far as her health goes, I'd try taking one kid away. If she still doesn't want to feed the remaining kids, I would take them away too...and as soon as possible. It's easy to maintain a kid. It's not so easy to bring one that has gone too long without nourishment back to health. Hope this helps and Best of Luck.
