Hmm, I'm not sure I would dilute with water, rather give a smaller dosage. I've never dealt with this stuff, but I found these posts for you that may help lead you in the right direction.

It may also be useful to let us know why you are needing to medicate your rabbit -- perhaps there are other solutions we can provide.

Perhaps it was from hair. She had just kindled. She had poop that I had to wash off butt. I did not mention that in the last few hrs she had scours.

Where are you located? The RHDV virus can start off looking like stasis. If you've lost several rabbits in a short space of time then maybe it's that?
I'm so sorry to hear that she passed. That's never easy. 
The others that you can see this happening to as well, have they been in contact with her? If not, it could be diet-related. What are you feeding? Have you introduced any new foods?
If they have been in contact, it could be a lot of things. RHDV is a good thought. Are you near a hotspot? If you have any rabbits that have not come in contact with the ones beginning to show the same symptoms, it is advised to separate them into quarantine if you've not already done so.
Baby gas drops are definitely helpful with stasis to reduce the gas bloat. There is another bloat treatment mentioned in this thread that may be helpful as well. Anyone else showing signs should be kept moving as much as possible. Encourage eating with fresh herbs or greens if possible. Pineapple is often suggested as well due to the enzymes in it. Keep them adequately hydrated, too. Some of these threads may be worth the read:

Do you have a foster mother doe for the late doe's kits? If not and they are still alive, here are some threads that may be helpful:

Sorry to just get back. No I’m not in a hot spot for the Rhvd virus. I had a couple more do this. I treated for bloat and did not lose them. Not sure if it was luck or not.
