If she were mine, I'd lutylace. I got a new buck last fall who was bound and determined to breed everything that moved around here and to some degree he succeeded! He got out of every pen, lot, prison we put him in. I felt like I was calling the vet every other week for a shot! If you have any misgivings on whether or not your doe can handle the delivery, then give her the shot. There have been no ill side effects with my does (a little bloody discharge and they go into heat again) and no damage has been done to them. I intentionally rebred a couple of them several months later when I felt they were of proper health and size. It's a lot safer for her to lose the baby now than it will be later if she hasn't matured enough to deliver and the baby has to be pulled or taken by C-Section. That's just my opinion, for what it's worth.
