I think there's nothing outwardly wrong with the stats you posted. Your GPA is fine; I wouldn't retake that class unless schools are telling you too. Your GRE might barely be on the low side - seems like most successful candidates are 1200+, but it doesn't seem bad (and there's at least one person that posted in the successful applicants thread with a 990).
Have you talked to the schools that rejected you? What did they point out as weaknesses? Your base numbers seem like they ought to have been strong enough. You have far more hours of vet experience than I did, although I did have some animal experience in LA from working on a farm in the summers when I was growing up. Between SA/exotics, and those 20 LA hours, you've got some variety, though getting more LA and some equine would help.
I'm wondering if your LORs and/or personal statement were not as strong as they should have been?
