What do you do if you cut the vein in your guinea pigs paw?

Because - with a slight cut, you're only damaging capillaries (small blood vessels) With a deep or large cut, there's more chance of rupturing a vein or artery which would bleed considerably more.


How long does it take to die after the jugular vein is cut?

Since the blood flow of the IJV (internal jugular vein) is 700mL per minute when the head is lying flat, and at 70mL per minute when the head is at a right angle, and you need to lose approximately 40% of your blood to die, when the vein is cut it would take around 3 minutes to bleed out and die if the head is flat, and about 30 minutes to bleed out if the head is bent at a 90 degree angle. these numbers are further lengthened if a tourniquet or other blood loss device is applied.


What happens if you cut your wrist?

The veins in your wrist are very important to the rest of your body. They conect to almost every other vein in your body. When you slit your wrist, it makes you bleed from all the other veins in your body. This makes you bleed, very, very badly. If it is not treated very quickly, you will most likely bleed to death.
