Not a real animal, obviously a fake one. A bat bites the husband on the hand and refuses to let go, prompting him to stab it to death until it dies.

One before the movie starts, and another presumably dies at the end since he becomes a ghost? It's not clear.

Both of Bob's parents die. His father's throat is torn out by Dr. Freudstein. His mother's death is unknown, but she may have been strangled.

Given that it's a Fulci film, there is plenty of practical gore effects. Some notable examples include the nanny having her throat repeatedly slashed with a kitchen knife and a mannequins head falling off that oozes blood.
