Cubby has gone through this a few times. I have to take him into the vet to get his anal glands drained. I don't know how to do it my self but the vet told me I can if I want to learn how to. This morning I noticed Cubby started doing it again. When I tried to chase him down to find out what was going on he started bathing him self so I walked away and noticed a piece of poo on the floor. I think it got stuck to his bum and he couldn't get it off.
I to think it is a funny sight to see Cubby doing the rubbing on the floor thing but then I see vet bills. At my vet they give me a discount by how much they get out of him. The first time they had to drain them they had to use more paper towel, the sencond time they didn't get much out of him so I got a very nice discount. Now that I know what it means with Cubby I take him in right away that way they don't get very much and it doesn't stink as bad.
Good luck take him into the vet, it only takes about 5 to 10 minutes to drain them..

P.S. Also after so many drainings they will remove the glands. I don't know how many they need to have in a certain amount of time.
