The cervix needs to be open to do a uterine flush. I can't see oxytocin working at this point. You might want to try penicillin and either lute or estrumate. Since your doe has a retained placenta, I would do a 14 day course of penicillin. But on days 4 & 5 of penicillin, give one shot of lute. So that would be 2 days in a row of lute. Hopefully that would help to expel what is in the uterus. The penicillin needs to be the twice a day type. You need a constant level of penicillin through this.
Retained Placenta day 4 and broken bone??

She is doing ... I gave a second lute shot more antibiotics
this am. A little bloody watery discharge is starting to come out.
Trying to find penicillin tomorrow. Thought it did not work well anymore
Yes Gave selenium by Bose and am giving daily vit/mineral slurry I made.
She is eating small amounts of leaves and grass watermelon celery and carrots but will not eat goat chow or alfalfa.
She came out of her stall today to see whats happening because two more does kidded.
Both normal, a single and a first timer who had triplets, a buckling I pulled and two doelings. Weak legs on the last one. 1/2 cc Bose each.
Now waiting on plactenta out of this one a few hours ago.
