Thanks for the replies but we've been keeping a close eye on her tonight and she's been pooping so I don't think she has any kind of blockage that way.

Any other suggestions?

does she always stay at the surface? Does she ever even try to go down? Maybe it's a bad bladder problem. How long she been like this?

We've noticed this for the past 2 days now. She does tend to stay at the surface but will go down if scared. Does anybody think this may be dropsy?

Not having seen the mollie shot (only the dogs !!) Just going by your description , I have found this to be a condition often found in Mollies and Guppies after several broods . I think the kindest thing is to put it out of it's misery as you are most unlikely to find a cure .
McInery say's a salt water bath ( I oz sea salt to 1 gallon water ) has been known to prolong the fishes life for up to two months in the case of dropsy.
Good luck
