What's this on my puppy's fecal test if the vet can't identify it?

Question

Ran a fecal on my puppy and saw this. Took him to the vet and he saw nothing and said it's not any parasite he recognizes. Just curious if anyone can identify? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | neutered | 3 months and 27 days old | 25 lbs

Hello, It looks like a strongyle egg. It could be non-pathogenic if you're only seeing one egg. However, some plant material can also trick you and look like parasite eggs. The reason I say that is because that picture doesn't show an obvious operculum like strongyle eggs and the gravel is smaller than canine strongyle eggs. Hope this helps.
