 She also could have eaten it.
Very very common.
If our gray DIDN’T eat the placenta I would have been worried.

 I did actually wonder if they would. But then I’d also be concerned as to what caused her quick decline

 I would be confident that the ewe eating her own placenta is not what caused her quick decline.

But the other responses you received are possibilities.

Depending on how badly you want to know, many vets do autopsies, but it usually costs quite a bit.
