When the doe retains placenta
We would like to see all the afterbirth especially placenta comes out within 24 hours. If the doe is having a trouble bringing it out, she is most likely, in ketosis so she will need Cal MPK 100ml / day at least for 3 days.
Also you will need to tie some weight on the hanging afterbirth to pull naturally.
Here is the example.
Using plastic disposable gloves with water and twines.
