Well I would take him to the vet and have them try to express them just so you know for sure if he needs it or not. I think it costs all of 15 bucks or so, no biggy. My boy never needs his expressed and I think I have turned him against my vet by trying more than once. haha. He does get that itchy thing where he bites the air and his butt itches but that tends to be seasonal for him and has never had any problem with his tail pocket so far. The few times I have cleaned it, it is totally clean already. he has never done the boot scoot tho either and my vet tells me that is the sign for my pug to get his glands expressed. (Turns out my pug does absolutely nothing to let me know when his are full, they are always full after 2 months or so)
