Are vets always right?

My rabbit and sisters rabbit were together and the vet said that her bunny was a girl and Iam not sure on mine but now I'm pretty sure he is a she. But I looked over and my sisters rabbit was mounting my rabbit like on top of her and you know.. I'm just nervous that my sisters rabbit isn't really a girl? I just dony want Charlie to be pregnant she's only 5 months not even. Can a vet be wrong about a rabbit sex is it likely?

Mistakes are always a possibility, however, way less likely with a vet than a pet store or shelter worker. If the other rabbit is the same age or older, testicles would be present and easy to spot. Females do hump each other as well as males over dominance, just not to breed.

Vets can be wrong, but it may help if youre able to show us here.

Can you get both bunnys, 1 at a time, place them on their back sides on your lap, push the fur away from their bums, so you can get a good look, you will need to press down around the urethra opening like you want something to pop out from there, like your pulling a sock down. See if somebody else in your house can take a nice clear photo of the area while you do this.
In reality the easiest way to tell is if there are testicles present, even when a rabbit sucks them in there is still wrinkly deflated skin from where they would be. But some good pictures and we can happily help you figure this out.
