How would you interpret this PH/calcium test?

[CPL20]

I got the below readings from my mare yesterday evening. This is my first time milk testing. To me, I read this as 1000 calc and approx 6.2PH (therefore she “should” foal by this evening). After four days of sleep deprivation and believing each night was “the” night, I’m in need of some unbiased eyes. How would you read this if it was your mare?

Some background on the mare, she is 336 days in foal and showing all the usual signs (waxing, full bag with teats pointing outward, relaxed/puffy vulva, jelly like behind, no tail clamp reflex..) since Monday.

Thanks

Its a very small pic but I think your right. Fingers crossed for an easy foaling and a happy foal!

Thanks for your reply and good wishes. I will attach again, hopefully the pic will be more readable!

All the best for a safe foaling. And most importantly we need foal pics!

No foal yet... she appears to be the exception to the rule with milk testing

I think the pH will be a little more yellow when she's really ready, but that can change very fast!
Good luck, it should be here really soon....

For those who are interested or are milk testing for the first time, it's now 4 days later....no foal to be seen. My gut tells me that she will keep us waiting a little longer.

OP , I feel for you, our mare is day 359 now and still no foal, but all the signs are there, she is certainly ready, but mare isn't worried and i guess foal will come when it is ready, we are just feeling very much sleep deprived at the moment

Been thinking about you monte1. How frustrating but exciting at the same time.
