"I have never been a queasy individual, and I fully understand the types of cases I will see in my career as a veterinarian. I work part-time at our local emergency animal shelter and have seen many situations involving blood, urine, and saliva. My focus always stays on the helpless animal that needs my help. I believe this mentality will get me through any gruesome or undesirable situation here at KSU and during my career."

You can keep your answer simple by discussing your ability to handle events involving blood and other fluids from the animals you will be working with. If you have hands-on experience with this, now is a great time to discuss your ability to handle these situations.
