I had another topic going about my mare who started leaking milk 2 nights ago and still hasn't foaled. Well, since she started leaking milk, I have not checked her milk with the test strips because why would I? I mean she is obviously about to foal, right? NOT!!
We have been watching her 24/7, her milk was dripping down her legs for the last 2 days. Tonight, I go to put her in the barn for the night and I look at her bag. Well, it does not look so swollen anymore, so I feel it. It is definitely still full, but not feeling so engorged and painful anymore. So, I decide to check her milk with the test strips. The milk is opaque creamy white, CA is high, but now after her pH being between 6.2 - 6.5 for at least 2 weeks, her pH has went BACK UP to 7.8!!!! WHAT?????
Oh, and she does not appear to be leaking milk anymore.
I felt for foal movement because I start thinking the foal must be dead, but the foal is still alive and kicking so someone, PLEASE explain this to me!!!!
