[rawfeeding] Anal smell

Occasionally, one of my dogs has a slight odor of anal glands about
her. It isn't all the time, but pretty raunchy when it occurs. She's
a smooth collie, almost 7 months old, and has been rawfed since I got
her at 11 weeks. I've never had a dog that had anal gland problems,
or had to have them squeezed. Or maybe rough collie hair just "hides"
the smell better, lol!
Does the smell mean they need to be "emptied"? Or that they empty
out on their own? I've never seen her scoot, and she doesn't seem to
pay an excessive amount of attention to that area.
