Question Anal Glands? Help!!!

Hey guys! Question...I noticed this morning Katie Scarlett scooting her behind on the carpet. This is the first time she has done this. About 2 minutes later she went to her potty pad to go. You could tell she was having to strain a bit. It took about 30 seconds of her straining to go. It was a really small, hard poop. It looked normal, no mucus, blood, or diarrhea. She was last wormed on the 26th of September. We have a vet appointment on Friday at 2:45, it was the soonest we could get her in. She is playing now, but has scooted a few more times and whines a bit when she scoots. What could this be? Could it be her anal glands? If it is her anal glands, do I need to take her to the emergency vet clinic today to have her looked at or can I wait until Friday? I am new at all of this and don't want to do the wrong thing. I have read about anal glands and expressing them, but being a newbie, I would rather someone do it for us or show me the proper way to do it. And even tell me if that is what is wrong. She isn't lethargic or anyting. She is wrestling with her snuggle puppy as I type this. Any advice? Help! I am worried!
