Scooting? Anal Gland Expression?

Ruki started scooting a few days ago. Nothing that was too noticeable. I first noticed it when she was playing in the snow and then just started scooting in the snow. And then I noticed that in the morning she might do a few scoots--three or four scoots on the carpet.

Here's a thread from the Bulldog Domain on scooting and anal glands/tail pockets:

So we're not sure if it's an anal gland issue just yet. We're going to keep on it. Keep her area clean with baby wipes. Watch the scooting. Check for the poo/fishy oil smell. And feed her a wheat biscuit or two every day. And give her some real good play and exercise and maybe her anal glands will express themselves.
