Hi Brian
This happened here last year. Doe went into premature labor and delivered her 1st ok the 2nd and 3rd came together and I had to pull them. She retained her placenta and we had the vet out. She got oxytoxin twice a day for 3 days as well as long lasting pen, 3 days apart for 3 times, and the most important part, the vet flushed her with warm water and iodine. She had to open the cervix to do this and then the doe received a uterine bolus. This was done twice, three days apart, so get her to a vet as Vicki said.
Hope all comes out well, good luck.
