Doe with confirmed coccidia

Took fecal sample in and vet confirmed doe has coccidia. Vet said to treat her with corid in the water trough.



She is in a pen with 10 other bred does. No other doe shows any sign of diarrhea or coccidia. However, vet says that it is very contagious. Do I remove the doe with coccidia and treat her or leave her in with the other does and treat the entire pen with the corid in the water?



Are there any risks of using corid in the water troughs with bred does?



Thanks.
 
Treat the entire pen, do not move any deer out. Chances are it has spread already and the other deer just aren't showing yet. No risk to bred doe's that i am aware.
 
I would treat all of them but anytime you take a sick deer from the pen you should consider leaving her and moving the rest out; after all, the pen is probably as contagious as the animal you're watching.
