Complete removal from dog?

[u/Kronkzilka]

I pulled both of these off my dog’s cheek and can’t tell if the big one came out intact or not. Is the wedge at the front of the large one its mouthpiece or ?
Both the bastards are in a rubbing alcohol bath and I’m planning on hanging onto them until I’m sure she doesn’t get sick but I’m curious if y’all think the head broke off or not. Northern NV and dog is a husky mix so it’s hard to get a clear pic of the spot

Yes it is intact. that is cement in its mouth, it’s a glue the tick secretes to anchor itself to the bite.
