Sorry to hear that. It may look red but the fluid inside is likely yellowish and just looks pink due to the membrane. It will pass with the placenta. Leave it be for now as the weight of it can help pass the placenta. Afterwards, if you can milk out and freeze her colostrum, it may come in handy later on.

She has not had any more contractions, and she passed the placenta. A lot of crying going on here. It was a little doeling, marked just as I was hoping for.

It should mean she's done...even though one time in 25+ years I saw a doe have two kids, pass a placenta and then have another baby and pass another one....but only once.

I am so terribly sorry for your loss.

I'm sorry for your loss :( I hope your other kiddings go well.
You may want to milk her and freeze a few feedings worth of colostrum, to have on hand just in case.
