Pussy Willow Bush

I believe I had or have a beautiful bush but I did notice not a lot on the branches. I believe it was due to when I pruned the bush but recently I noticed what looks like pink seeds on the leaves and are very hard to scratch off. Can you tell me what they are, and can I save the bush?

I am not able to find any reference to “pink seeds” with regard to pussy willows.
They do however, throw and pink/red bud scale before becoming fuzzy. But you may have overpruned and that can take care of itself with time.

Please see this article for help with that:
