UPDTE talked to a bunny expert who's been bit by both centipedes and black widow spiders (which destroy bunnies almost immediately without anti venom help) and likens CENTIPEDE BITES to BLACK WIDOW BITES rather than a bee sting, like google search relates, specifically the scolopendra...

the size of red welt was conspecific to other pix of centipede bites about an inch in height and .75 in width.

I belive it was the centipede that ran into in my plum sesame who was trying to greet it, while the centipede was on the way to the cat food bowl that had chicken in it, never leave animals in an enclosed unattended with food bowl. The timing was too accurate for it not to be the centipede. I...

the organic antiseptic should be more robust than mine, containing silver colloidal (argentyn is excellent), maybe acv, more antiseptic oils tea tree oil, maybe peppermint oil for analgesic/ cooling soothing, aloe vera, lemon oil, oregano oil, thyme oil, berberine hcl, clove oil, garlic, onion...

UPDATE Just read applying papain (papya enzyme) and raw onion help deactivate the majority of the venom's proteins. Magnesium sulfate would've also helped to draw the poison out in addition to the charcoal ( I would apply it after the meat tenderizer has taken its time, then follow up with...

Thanks for your account--That's what I had initially thought--then I did some deep research and centipede bites are allergenic especially in small species--there is conserved homology in the proteins in centipede venom , especially in the scolopendra genus, and larger species target lizards and...

link on vitamin e [Blood glutathione levels in rabbits treated with high doses of vitamin E] - PubMed

if someone cant rush to the vet immediately I recommend argyntyn or some other strong homeopathic antibiotic, organic antiseptic, cleaningan bug bite sites but do not use alcohol or hydrogen peroxide that could slow wound healing, administering charcoal and vitamin E 1000mg drops to help bunny...

the picture might have been exactly what i found but its difficult to remember the incident was 2-3 weeks ago---bunny's bump had become less red and was going down, thinking back now the lethargy was evident leading up, could've been a delayed allergic reaction, it didn't go down completely in a...

link Arizona centipede - Scolopendra polymorpha

it was about 3-4 inches long, body width about 1/3 inch--no pictures unfortunately but it was slightly unusual coloring dark red and brown that made it seem monocolored compared to other common desert centipedes--i believe this was vry close to what i found

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...
