When you see them dragging their butt on the floor that is usually their way of keeping them from clogging. You will smell a bad odor if they get blocked & I think yes it does need to be done now & again. You pull the anal apart, push back & then sqeeze it together pointing outward. Kinda like sqeezing a zit. It grosses me out thinking about it, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
