Not worms, not fleas, what is it? Careful if you're squeemish! Any vets on?

Thanks Jakabella! I youtubed to see how to do it properly - and they did feel like a couple of peas to begin with, but now don't so I hope I've cleaned them out properly.
Maybe when I am at the vet I will ask them to demonstrate how to do it so I know for future reference that I am doing it properly.
