This is a mini goat

Why is she sure there is more? If she has gone in and nothing is blocked, the doe should be able to deliver them and if there aren't more, she'll pass the afterbirth and she just looked bigger than 3 seemed to be able to make her. This is just my opinion, and also from assuming the doe birthed the first 3 on her own? Sorry not more help, but it doesn't make sense to be sure there are more without feeling them?

She said she can feel them from the outside

You can cause a goat to have more contractions by rubbing her cervix. That may bring the babies close. Or get oxytocin and give 1/4 - 1/2!- cc. Help brin the babies to the rear of her uterus.

can she actually fit a hand into this doe??? if so and she has help.. she can have someone else reach around the doe and bounce her belly up and down.. WHILE her hand is inside.. lots of times that will bring a kid down and into Feel/reach position.. If She can't get a hand inside.. afraid that's a bit more of an issue.

good luck

Yeah, feeling them in there from outside is pretty convincing. I hope she has oxytocin. I had to have some last year and never would have thought before then that I would. Hope it's out by now and we're all worrying about a moot point. She should have had another one by now
