A couple of hallucination/flashback scenes with a dog crawling with a broken back early in the movie. About halfway through in a flashback, a tree branch falls on the dog and breaks his back. The kid that fell from the tree died, but it doesn't actually show the dog die, just the injury.

The abuse isn't in the story line, but they have a dog who's wearing something strange on his hind legs, and is crawling/crouching while whining.

None of the characters self harm in what would be considered the "traditional sense" but they all frequently intentionally put themselves in a state where they are temporarily brain dead
