That is pus. Their pus is hard like that. It's not like our pus.

I just read the whole thread from the beginning and I think early on you were missing/not understanding that pus is hard like that. I am so glad you figured things out.

I have learned so much I just hope I will be able to help someone else like you guys helped me... I know it's not over yet but as of now she's got to feel better

This is what a vet wrote about pus:

The tricky thing about birds’, herbivores’ (rabbits, guinea pigs, rats), and reptiles’ pus is that it is thick, like cottage cheese or toothpaste, because these animals lack the ability to break it down into a liquid, like our pus. This is the reason we have to perform surgery to remove the pus from these animals and not just cut the area open and let it drain out.

That is what I would call a big haul! You did an awesome job! That foot has got to be feeling so much better!

So should I wait about a week and maybe try again to see if I can get anything else out or leave it alone?
