My chained wardog caught a goblin thief trying to sneak into my fortress, and immediately ripped her left leg off. The goblin staggered away from the dog, passed out, and has been alternating between crawling away and passing out for the last 4 in game days. The weird thing is that, apart from the tile in which the leg was ripped off, there is no blood. Why wouldn't the goblin bleed out?

Currently, all wounds (even severed limbs) will stop bleeding even without medical attention. They will also never get any less painful. It is possible that your goblin friend got her leg bit off, passed out, bled as much as she was going to bleed into her own tile, stopped bleeding, woke up, then continued to stumble around your fortress in an agonizing form of narcolepsy. Both of these issues are going to be addressed in the next version. Until then, I recommend you either deploy your military to finish off the goblin, or give her an amusing nickname. I would go with Sleepy McStumpleton.

Huh, yeah, didn't that cancels-rest-spam bug also involve a conspicuous lack of bleeding?  Ah, here it is.  In that one, an injured dwarf spams "cancels rest" until the bed is removed, at which point he bleeds all over the place and dies.

I had a similar problem as the thread posted above, except that when I killed the offending orc, the dwarf bled out immediately (actually, 5 frames later, and with a lot of blood).

Perhaps you might want to see if slaughtering the war dog will also kill the thief.
