So I had an ogre wander into my 1st year fort and I immediately sent my lone Hammerdwarf to take care of him.  With his iron hammer he casually bashed her head in....and then did it again.  And again.

I now have 40 some odd pages of this ogre getting her skull crushed yet she will not die.  I drafted everyone else in my fort to help, and they all have 40 pages of punching the ogre in various body parts.  She can't be anything but fleshy pulp by this point.  Every bone in her body is broken.  I can't undraft anyone because they'll all freak out and run down a dead end corridor...

Everybody is getting REALLY thirsty and hungry, it's been a few months of carnage now....is there any way I can finish her off quickly so no one starves to death during this honestly quite troubling blood bath?

I ended up with this exact same problem... 246 pages of trying to kill this ogre that was blocking all civilian access to the fort, and it just wouldn't bleed out or die. That fortress got abandoned.

Did you try saving the game exiting df and loading it again? Sometimes creatures stay alive despite having fatal wounds saving/loading might fix it.

If you want them to bleed out quicker, send a hunter/marksdwarf, sword dwarf, axe dwarf, or spear dwarf at them.  That will guarantee the creature will end up bleeding and dying.  Blunt weapons are very slow killers especially when the dwarf wielding them are not very strong.

The best way to kill everything is to chop its head off with a sword or axe.

makes me think you somehow removed the ogre's brain in the RAWs.
