can a human pregnancy test be used on a horse? phantom pregnancys....

[neverlate]

And are phantom pregnancys common or rare?

I doubt if you can use them on horses. The chemical that they test for is called human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG). Don't know about phantom pregnancies though.

Human test kits are not accurate for equine pregnancies. I'm afraid you'll have to wait for the vet

But a week is SOOO long to wait for results!!!!

I done a human test on my mare and it said negative, two weeks later and she is scanned in foal today, so deffo not accurate in my experience.
