Blood cannot flow to an amputated limb, so that area that is removed from the body does not have blood flow anymore. The veins and arteries will work up until near the point where they are damaged. In some cases, appendages have been reattached or transplanted, surgeons needs to (re)connect blood vessels and tissues and it is not a guarantee appendages can be reattached or transplanted.
