Perhaps something like this (untested) -- it's going to depend on the
exact structure of your data so if this doesn't work, please use
dput() to send a plain text representation:
tapply(data, data$animal, function(d) d[, c("A01", "A02")] - d[d$time
== "d0", c("A01", "A02")] )
In short, take "data" split it into groups by "data$animal" and then
apply the function which consists of subtracting the "A01" and "A02"
columns by the row that has time == "d0"
