I'd do a fecal check first, then maybe bloodwork if the fecal didn't show much. If it was a WC or import animal, or if you have any recent import animals in your collection, you might consider a tracheal wash. You definitely want to consider both behavioral and physiological causes.



Bring the critter here if you think it's warranted, and I'll apply the microscope to both ends. If results warrant or if you want C&S or bloodwork, the clinic down the road from me just loves to see cobras. Since I do the blood draws and all the handling work they generally only charge lab fees in situations like that.
