Thing in a fecal float- what is it? (Pic)

Hi y'all!

I'm doing a fecal float right now, and just came across this. The little shapes that appear to be inside it are indeed inside it. What is it?

TIA!

@dawg53 is probably a good person to ask. If I am wrong, please correct me!

I've seen that pic somewhere before but can place it. I'm thinking it is Eimeria eggs (coccidiosis). I'm thinking it is normal to see some but an overload isn't.

@Sue Gremlin would know.

It appears to be a capillary worm egg.

Not a worm egg, it’s artifact. Just poo sccmoo.

What does sccmoo mean?

What does sccmoo mean?

I think it means crud

I actually misspelled schmoo. Poo schmoo. It’s a highly sciency, technical word, you know.

it’s defined as general stuff and flotsam in poo.

It looked like a mangled capillary worm egg to me lol.

There is the pic I was looking for that has the two bumps. I looked all over the place.
