Answers
The problem with Tricki was that he was being pampered by Mrs.Pumphrey
Tricki was a small dog. His mistress Pumphrey pampered him very much. She overfed him. She gave him food, rich with fats. Tricki never refused food anytime. He was always greedy for food. He liked cream cakes and biscuits very much. Mrs Pumphrey gave him cod-liver oil and Horlicks. She gave him wine to drink.
This all made Tricki like a bloated sausage. He became very lazy. He became uninterested in things. He kept lying all day on the carpet. He had some bouts of vomiting. Mrs Pumphrey thought that he was seriously ill. She called Mr James Herriot who was a vet surgeon.
James basically took him under his ward and exercised him daily, let him run around with other dogs and stand up for himself during feeding hour.
This eventually led to Tricki being cured and turning into a much more muscular dog. Mr. Herriot was thus able to cure Tricki by making him more active.

Tricki is the name of the small pet dog of Mrs. Pumphrey. She used to think that Tricki was suffering from malnutrition and so she continuously gave him food to eat. Tricki kept on eating without doing any exercises. Hence, he became very fat and lazy. He stopped eating and his eyes turned red and rheumy. He was sent to the hospital where it was under the supervision of Dr. Herriot. The doctor assigned him many exercises. Tricki became very active and normal by doing exercises.
