Not eating or drinking and seems to be sad.

Yep, you may not want to put it all in at once. Put some in, let him swallow a bit, and then push some more in. Put the tip of the syringe behind his front teeth.

Okay I got the first 5mL of the rehydration drink into him.
I feed him a small chunk of pineapple and some pumpkin+squash mix.
I hope he goes back to normal soon.

That sounds good. Hopefully he will be eating on his own again soon.

I just got the Ovol Gas drops and I know you said to give 1mL each hour for 3 hours, but the package says not to give more than 1.5mL to a child in 24 hours.. So is it safe to give 3ml to the rabbit?

Simethicone acts mechanically to break up the gas and is not absorbed into the blood stream, so it is very safe..

Lisa is right. It's common for us to give 1ml/hr for 3 hrs, then 1ml every 3hrs after that. The only side effect of overdose is diarrhea, which is really rare, and to be honest in a bunny with gas getting it moving along is better. Sorry I didn't respond last night. How is he doing?
