There are some episodes that show people being shot or injured in other ways that result in blood loss. The fake blood used by the show looks remarkably artificial. I'm usually pretty squeamish but this was almost comical.

The entire premise of “Child of Pain” is that a child is being physically abused by his alcoholic father. During the episode, the father stops drinking alcohol and is supposedly rehabilitated as a parent.

Nellie whips her horse to an unnecessary amount just to make Laura and Mary mad. You do not see the whip hitting the horse, but it’s heavily implied. Nellie gets her comeuppance seconds later.

I would guess so, there's a scene of real horses pulling a real wagon through a real river and getting whipped, hard to watch. It's in the first episode. They use real animals for things a lot especially horses so be cautious of that. Remembered that there's a real snake shot on screen too, I forgot the episode number but it's the one where Mr. Edwards is taking care of the girls by himself.
In season 3 episode 10 there's a shot of a real horse rolling roughly down a rocky hill
In season 9 episode 19 there’s a real orangutan used in the episode. Hopefully it was treated alright but using apes and monkeys in films can be stressful for them and is generally not great.

Just skip this episode. The beginning is a scene of a pack of wild dogs chasing a sheep. The sheep is presumably killed off camera. The rest of the episode depicts a wolf pack attacking and killing livestock, and ends with a pack of dogs being killed.

Not exactly excessive, but Caroline Ingals cuts herself on some fencing and the cut gets very infected. You think she’s going to cut off her leg, but she just cuts open the infection and she’s healed in the next scene.

Several infants and children tragically pass away throughout the series as the infant and child mortality rate was very high at the time the show was set (late 1800s) and without modern medicine nothing could be done for them.

Not sure which season (I think it's like 8-9?) but it's the episode where Albert is found taking drugs. Skip the part where's he's on bed and his legs are shaking uncontrollably to a few minutes after. I watched it once and it was very bad, vis and audio if I remember correctly

A little girl, Olga, has a disability (one leg is longer than the other). A lot of the kids leave her out of games because of this. Eventually, Charles Ingals constructs a special boot that allows her to play with the other kids. Nellie still finds a way to bully her though.
