More frequent anal gland emptying? 😭

Behavior

My girl is about 5.5. Super anxious. My daughter had friends over before heading out for Halloween and the dog was so agitated that she released her glands. I live in a 2br apartment and the house smelled alllll night. It was awful.

Well she has done it again twice now (once yesterday and once today), without any additional provocation. We are home alone and she's been chilling behind me on the floor both times.

She has no problems with her stools - very healthy. She's not scooting, she's not licking. Any ideas? I really don't want to take her to the vet. I'm moving on Saturday, I work two jobs and this is bad timing.

That being said, I'm not sure if it's behavioral or a sign of something else.
