My RB Peeka had a cutaneous growth and, believe it or not, I could just gently tug on it and it would come right off. Of course, another one grew in its place, though. Thankfully, she's the only one I had to do that with. Don't feel bad, Donna. We've all been there. I almost always clip Creamsicle's claws too close b/c she's so spastic from her CH. She hisses at me and hides from me for a few minutes but she gets over it.
