Most likely it won't die.

A lost limb isn't always enough to kill something.

A good rule of thumb is that if it doesn't die within 30 seconds or so, it probably isn't going to die from the injury. Not always the case, but usually.

I am insulted that you would use a nickname so close to mine.

The last one in my fort survived a couple years with a mangled arm before coming up again (and promptly springing a cage trap  8)) so yeah, it takes more than that to stop them.
