She started serious contractions 55 minutes ago, saw amniotic fluid a little less than that. No sign of sack or baby. When to go in or call vet?

I would do it now if you are unsure. Either go in or call the vet. Whatever you feel most comfortable with.

Is she a FF? I'd give her a little longer. If she's seriously seriously contracting hard and pushing, you can always gently pull (with the contractions) to help her along.

At least third, second with me. Big single buckling last year, one big breech, malpositioned doeling now out and baa-ing. Waiting on vet who was already on the way. Not sure if there is another, not sure if I should go back in yet. Should I? No placenta yet.

You can go in, just make sure to scrub up well and make sure she's clean as well. The doeling you delivered was malpositioned? I thought you said you had 2 hooves and a nose? :hu Either way, good luck and hope all goes well.
