Question
QUESTION: The petsmart store guy said one is male and the other two are females. The male has a tube like fin near its belly and the females don't. Is that right?

ANSWER: Hi Manahil,

That is correct. :)

QUESTION: Renee,
I just noticed that my healthiest female dalmatian molly's belly is a little bit fat. Only a little. Should I send a picture? Does it mean anything?

Answer
Hi Manahil,

You can send a picture.  If it's a little fat, it could just be because she's a molly, and they tend to have bulbous bellies, but if she has a male with her (and it sounds like she does, from what you've told me) then, there is a very good chance that she is indeed pregnant.

I am crossing fingers for you that she is!
