Doe Kidded Backend Won't Close

My doe Abigail kidded a very cute buckling just 3 hours ago. I have been watching her back end to make sure it closes. I have had 4 kiddings so far on my farm and I have never seen this. It will not close. She is not in pain but wore out. Could it still be open if she has another one coming? I thought I felt a leg and am planning on going in to see if it make be stuck or whatever. She is 5 years old and she is a FF. She gave a couple what looked like pushes. Watery blood just came out. She is sleeping with her baby and seem to be do very well in that she is getting her strength back. I gave her molasses water to help her a bit. She really perked up with the food though. So got ideas? She does not appear to have ripped just looks stretched and never went back in. I'll take a picture if she will let me.
