Baby rabbits keep dying

It is very sad. There are only 5 of the original 18 left now. We don't really know what it is, but next time are going to treat for a thing called Coccidiosis which is apparently a very common protozoan infection in rabbits which causes stomach issues similar to the other thing we have vaccinated against. We have treated for both these things in the past and we thought it was the vaccination that had helped other litters survive, but maybe not!
It seems that once they are suffering symptoms it is probably too late to treat. So having given it to the one that is looking a bit sick now may not save it. If indeed this is the problem.
It is all very frustrating having no idea what is wrong really.
