Penny is now sick. 
Temp of 105.1, hasn't eaten all day, and Penny LOVES her meals, and she's just NOT feeling / acting like her normal self. At pm milking she had 'stinky' drainage, clear-ish and dark red combined.
I didn't find the placenta this morning, so I'm betting she retained it.
Wishing I'da went ahead and put her on Pen G last night, but the vet said he didn't think she'd need it. It wouldn't have kept her from retaining, but it might have staved off the infection.
I've drenched her w/ CMPK, and given her 40cc sub Q *just* in case shes' also going hypo on me. Figure it can't hurt and the calcium might help her clean out. Also gave her some Nutridrench and a B shot.
I gave her oxytocin an hr ago and am going to give her some Lut when I bottle feed the kids at 9pm. I'll check her in the am and if needed, call the vet back out to flush her.
I've had 'bout all of this I'm going to take for the week, she's GOT to get better.
edited to change 9am to 9pm...I'm not thinking straight...

Poop.
Scarlett got a NASTY uterine infection this year after her first ever triplet litter which required me going in up to my shoulder to pull them. NASTY one...
Hopefully she'll be ok...I think I'd choose a stronger antibiotic though.

Oh no!! I'm sorry, Roll. Hopefully it's just a hiccup after a really tough delivery.

I dunno if it's wishful thinking or not, but she seemed a *bit* perkier when I was just down there.
