I have a 5 week old kit... very tiny... who has discharge in the nose and eyes... Maybe a cold? Not sure how to treat.

I do have Albon Coccidia sulfadimethoxine 12.5%. Would it harm the kit to treat with this? The kit weighs so little.. would that small amount even make a difference? I get it is per pound, but I wonder if at some point the small amount becomes ineffective. Thanks.
 
It doesn't sound like coccidiosis to me and using that medication if it is something else could be dangerous to it.

Rabbits do not get "colds". Eye and nose discharge can indicate a disease like pasteurella (snuffles) or bordetella (sp?). Is the discharge white or clear?
