No animal abuse is ever shown. Neglect is sometimes referenced. Any cases of neglect are resolved in the end. The closest thing to abuse was when a family refused to give their dog a bath for skin problems in 7x06 but the dog is later adopted by someone else who takes good care. Another dog who has been severely mistreated in the past is found and rescued sometime during or after 7x05 and all turns out well.

No. They had a deal where the veterinarians on staff would treat certain conditions on the show at no cost to the owner. The cameras would film one shot of Christopher Timothy or whoever standing over an animal doing “surgery” then shoot a closeup shot of the veterinarian supervisor’s hands performing the actual procedure. One veterinarian took Chris Tim on his rounds for a week before they started filming, which is presumably how he learned to assist in calving, stitching, and other basic procedures.

A horse is shot in the pilot. It isn't seen, but it's known that the horse has a fatal condition and a bullet is heard to be fired offscreen to put it out of its misery.

Yes, an animal other than a cat/dog/horse dies. It is unclear what the cause of death was, but a parakeet “dies” in 2x06 while James is handling it.

Yes, in the latter half of episode 5x12 James watches a man waste away in his bed from cancer while he treats the man’s dog. This may be especially triggering to those who have had loved ones die of cancer. Dogs and cats get cancer in the show, albeit infrequently.

No, an LGBT person does not die. The show takes place in the 1930s-50s and aired in 1978, so there is no mention of anyone being LGBTQ, nor is it implied.

S1E7 a car without passengers crashes to a hut. Later during the same episode (at around 35:00) a car crashes with passengers inside. The car is a bit damaged but the passengers are fine.

Cuts and blood are shown in several episodes. Some of the cuts are medical and some are the result of a trauma. Nothing too brutal, though.
