I'm not an expert, but I definitely would advise you to not give up hope because of 2 C's in your freshman year. First of all, adcoms know that freshman year is typically a tough transition and people don't always get the whole "college" thing right off the bat. In my experience, a lot of kids didn't have to study at all in high school, assumed the same thing was true to some degree in college, and found out the hard way that it was not. I think as long as you take this semester as a learning experience and improve your study methods in the future you should be fine. They like to see improvement. Also, people that I've spoken to here (University of Florida) always say that vet schools like to see well rounded candidates without 4.0's. I have a C here or there, and I've gotten 2 interviews so far (which I consider pretty good at this point..).
Long story short, C's aren't good, but they're not the end of the world. Just try to improve your GPA in future semesters. With decent experience and GRE scores, you'll definitely have a fighting chance.
