First my thought is for the dam. Even delivering triplets is not enough reason for a weak dam. It would have to be a very!! difficult delivery, a prolonged delivery with perhaps a kid stuck for quite some time, or bleeding. Are her gums nice and pink? Did you worm her the day she kidded?

Now for the kid. Since she is a doe, and you want to bottle feed her, than perhaps also take another doe sister off the mom also and raise them up as mates. She will follow her sited sister around always. My girlfriend did this exact thing and her doe is I think 3 now. She did loose her sited sister in the floods in Houston, but the blind doe was even able to find shelter from the flood!

In our situation of heavily wooded pens I couldn't keep a blind kid. So yes I would put her down. Vicki
