Unless it is severe diarrhea, usually all you will see is a very wet tail tinged with some steaks of blood. If both of them have aborted and were bred to the same buck, I would have him tested for chlymydia. Abortions are normal, but...they do not happen to two does in a herd the same time. Anything like this deserves a vets attention. You should also be very careful in cleaning them up until you find what this is. Abortion storms like this can be caused by disease that is harmful to humans also. Unless you have had a dog attack, a real problem with your grain or hay or some other type of problem like this, I would have some test ran. Vicki
