I have a doe that gave birth last week. One fawn looked to be born dead or smothered(rolled on) shortly after birth. The other lived but died that night. Now......my doe has been pushing and casting as if something is stuck or like shes trying to give birth again. I'm confused!
 
She might have a still born inside of her still that she was unable to deliver, I had this happen when I worked for my in laws. We had to sedate the doe and pull the last fawn out, I suggest having someone on hand who has smaller hands and lubricant. If you aren't comfortable doing that you will likely need to call a vet. If you don't you risk serious infection that will certainly lead to death if that is indeed whats going on. There could be other possible issues, I am only going based on my experience. Take it for what it's worth!
 
Maybe the doe tore on the inside a little bit and the pain from it has the doe pushing!  Just another thought!
