Please Note - Medical Advice
Please keep in mind that posts on this forum are from members of the public sharing personal opinions. It is not a replacement for qualified medical advice from a veterinarian. Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.
You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

Impossible to say why the deformity happened
The only way to stop all risk of it happening again, or even worse, including the death of the Doe is to never breed from her or the stud Buck again

Get a Rabbit savvy Vet to examine her. It’s impossible to give sufficient and safe advice over the internet. The Doe needs to be examined.
Please think VERY carefully about continuing to breed Rabbits. Not only are there already too many unwanted Pet Rabbits and Rescue Centres are over-whelmed by demands to help, but when there has already been a problem with a specific mating IMO it would be irresponsible and unethical to mate the Rabbits again. Dam and Stud Buck should both be retired from breeding, neutered and cared for as Pets.

You said your friend that is a vet gave you advice. Did this vet examine your bunny or run any diagnostics to determine if she is still pregnant. Does this vet regularly treat bunnies? If not, you need to see a rabbit savvy vet.
Bunnies have a single uterus which is Y shaped with two horns. Was your bunny bred multiple times on different days for your vet friend to suspect she had babies at different stage of development in the horns?
I hope your bunny will be ok. Though I agree you should not breed her again.
