 This sounds to me more like the Basilisk (huge fangs) wound. 
 One Pheonix tear and Arthur would be back on his feet again.

 Linnea responds:
 I think DD could have asked Fawkes to go to Arthur (who was 
 alone in the basement with an invisibility cloak until DD 
 requested the portrait arouse rescuers) much as he asked 
 Fawkes to deliver a message later. <snip>
 
Pippin:
<snip> if  Fawkes had shown up while Voldemort was still 
 about, lurking in the snake's mind, Voldemort would have known 
that Dumbledore was aware of the link with Harry. That's not
information Dumbledore wanted to give away. 

Linnea:
"He reared high from the floor...plunging his fangs deeply...feeling
the ribs splinter beneath his jaws"... and that is canon. Not your
typical snake bite. In fact, I can think of no snake I ever heard of
that can break your ribs by biting you. No biggy I guess since LV
certainly could have charged Nagini up magically. 

And I agree with you Pippin about not wanting LV to know DD knew about
the mind connection.
