I guess what I'm saying is don't cut half of her heel off.Usually when people refer to the "plug" They are talking about the puss core. You would need to cut into the foot to see that.

Thanks for the tag.@Isaac 0 @KaleIAm @fatty and friends
That needs to be drained. I personally don't think its gonna heal without surgery, and its likely full of puss. I'm not an expert, but the people I tagged have more experience. Hopefully they can give you expert advice soon.
Give her a soak for 20 minutes, then flip her over and try to pull the plug, (ball) away from her skin. Soaking can help loosen the plug and eventually, with enough soaking time, you can pull it out. That is what I so when it comes to surgery. It seems way less invasive, but sometimes it gets so big that this approach doesn't work. Even removing the plug with this tactic may require squeezing puss out. Sorry about your girl.
I was lucky that the plug came to the surface on my ducks foot, not that she would consider it lucky. I guess it all boils down to how long it's been going on and where it's at. My little buff duck had bumblefoot on the end of her toe and the plug was so big that I had to make a tiny cut on the side of the hole for the plug to come out. That's so heartbreakingUsually when people refer to the "plug" They are talking about the puss core. You would need to cut into the foot to see that.
