This one is past me as well. I had a CAE doe that would not dialate enough to deliver but was in trouble as were the kids. I dumped mineral oil on my arm and went in as careful as possible, she finally dialated and I was able to pull all 3 kids. It was very hard on the doe she went down for a week before she started to recover. We lost all 3 kids but they were premies 2 were gone before which could have been why she started labor. Also the doe was a rescue project and was in terrible shape. Anyway do not just go in unless a vet tells you to and if you have to be very carefull. One thing I always do is make sure my fingernails are down to my fingertips as close as possible if there isn't time to clip them short chew them off on the way to the barn. Sorry I can't be more help keep us posted and Good Luck.
