I would also choose to abort. You need to wait on goats, unlike in dogs. We wait for one full cycle, we have heard way to may folks giving shots at 14 days and not having the drug work. This would just be to close to implantation to take a chance, so just wait till 21 days. This way also, she could possibly come back into heat and you know you don't have to use the shot. Though we have had very few seen breedings not take. My choosing to abort this pregnancy has little to do with the breeding of her brother to her, it has to do with the overall well being of the doe. 5 month old does are not mature enough to carry a pregnancy to full term, milk for 10 months, and continue to grow to their potential.
