made the huge mistake of not rushing my bunny to the emergency room after finding a huge red welt on my precious plum sesame's back (9 year old american fuzzy lop around 4 pounds) and tried to treat it at home--didn't think much of it after initial information--found the centipede dead in cat food bowl near rabbit--she was dying from a tumor and still tried to save my bunny--she passed a week later although I now know the centipede venom had an effect on her as well--bunny seemed fine--eating--but was slowly slowing down--just thought it old age, heat--he seemed fine but around 2 weeks later he suddenly passed--I KNOW THE CENTIPEDE'S VENOM HAD A DELAYED EFFECT--venom contain myotoxin cardiotoxin and neurotoxin dangerous to pets NO MATTER WHAT GOOGLE SEARCH SAYS. If this happens to your pet do not hesitate to rush to the ER with teh centipede if possible so they can administer anti venom--these instances are not well documented--I had to DIG for anecdotes of these PET KILLERS. My first huge mistake was leaving outside in playpen unattended for 30 minutes with cat food bowl as centipedes are carnivorous, in desert country. PLEASE DON'T REPEAT MY TRAGIC MISTAKE. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of the centipede but it had unusual coloring for its kid--red and dark brown that made it almost seem monocolored
