Boy it's really hard to say w/o seeing the doe what is going on. I had one with a retained placenta after a week she got sick and it got really funky. We hit her hard with Penn. she finally cleaned up but it was a real mess. If there is no extra smelly discharge I would just keep an eye on her, however if she doens't clear up by Thursday am I would be calling a vet and getting her on something. Sure don't want to wait until the weekend and then have to get vet help. This is just what I would do I had one doe this year that took a couple of days to clean out and now she is fine. Sometimes it just takes getting the milk to come in full. The milk let down gives out hormones that help in the body flushing itself out. Anyway watch her and let us know what happens.
