Digby (Ned's dog) dies in the opening scene, but he is indeed brought back to life and featured throughout the show. There are birds and squirrels that die throughout the series, but I'd absolutely recommend watching it (even as an avid DoesTheDogDie user).

Multiple allusions are made to vomiting in the context of an eating disorder. This is all dialogue—no vomiting or gagging is shown or heard.

Squirrels, birds, and frogs are to name a few that I've seen so far. They often merely drop dead, or are already dead before reanimation.

In season 2 episode 6, a magician "swallows" a mouse and then pulls it out of his mouth, unharmed, but I would still consider it [fictional] animal abuse.

Bees are a prominent aspect of this show, and are heavily romanticized and discussed. Dead bees are also seen before reanimation.

A major character loses their eye in the story, however, it is a non-graphic scene. However, this show is full of graphic corpses which become reanimated. The act itself is often not seen, but the after-effects are frequently.

Many bodies are shown with graphic injuries. For example, in episode 1 we see a body that is missing a chunk of its face.

The deaths are shown, with the characters falling over stiffly in a generally cartoonish manner. There is a lot of talk about the deceased parents.
