He's pretty good sized. I don't think she has another one, looking at the size of that one. But you can try bouncing her. That is where you get behind her and but your hands on her tummy. Gently bound her belly. If it feels lumpy and hard, there is another baby in there. If it just feels soft and jelly like, she just has a big post pregnancy tummy. Some of the smaller goats doe have a big tummy for a couple days after birth and they have lots of post birth oozy stuff that comes out for hours and sometimes days after the birth.

it is normal for them to still look big afterwards, If she is up tending to the baby, and not distracted behaving, and interested in eating, she is most likely done.

Did the afterbirth come out? If so I would say no more babies. If not you might need to get a vet to check & make sure she's empty in there.
