My dogs stomach keeps making gargling noises every other day, rubs the sides of his butt on the couch, and won't eat all day when his stomach acts up.

If you have never expressed anal sacs before, I'd take Winter into the vet. Keep in mind as well this behavior could be caused by intestinal worms, so the vet does need to diagnose what is going on in order for him to be treated correctly. It could also be that he is having problems with hard poop, and there may have been some stuck to his bottom and he was trying to get it off.
