My character has been chomped on the neck by a wolf. (Well, not quite a wolf, but it resembles one and its teeth are the same shape and size.) It's fairly messy, but I'm saying not deep because I want scars but no other lasting damage. Well, apart from the paranormal kind. I want it to bleed lots, but not sever any major arteries, so the bite itself is sort of where the neck meets the shoulder--close to the jugular, but not quite. My questions are: How long can I delay getting him treatment before he passes out/goes into shock/bleeds too much? Is he going to need stitches or a blood transfusion? How long would they keep him in the hospital? The nature of my wolf-creature is such that infection isn't a danger, so I'm not worried about fever or anything of that nature.
I'm planning to ask a friend of mine who's a doctor some of these questions too, but just a ballpark idea would be great so I have something to rough draft with. Thanks in advance!
