She may well be losing both lambs.  If she expels anything in the paddock you may not see it - foxes and badgers are very hungry at this time of year.  I'd be inclined to keep going with the antibiotics if she looks unhappy - perhaps have another word with your vet?

Thanks MF. Hadn't crossed my mind AT ALL that a predator may have taken an aborted lamb. Good point.

Charity seems much better :sunshine: She's had her final PenStrep injection today. I hope all her trauma is done with now. No gooey bits this morning.

Some bobbly stuff coming out now. Looks like very dried up placentomes so likely a foetus has previously come out. Haven't tried to remove it as assume it's best for her to pass it naturally.

From your description it's as you say, you've covered her with pen strep so all should be ok, sometimes because the womb is shrinking the small amount of placenta gets held and just hangs, a gentle pull with a glove normally does the job
