Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. That medication is usually given at 50-100mg/kg (so a bunny weighing approximately would get 15mg of medication, and this is given twice per day. If the sulphadimidine is 33% solution, this would be 0.3mL of this solution, given twice a day, and is usually give for 5 days. I would give 0.3mL tonight and then check with your vet in the morning. If you are unsure of the concentration of the medication, or unsure of the weight of your bunny, please call a 24 hour vet to confirm the amounts and medication. Best of luck with Candy.
