उत्तर
Before his stay, Tricki is pampered and grossly overweight: listless, bloodshot‑eyed, panting and lacking exercise because Mrs Pumphrey indulges him with sweets, malt, cod‑liver oil, numerous cushions, coats and constant attention, which leaves him weak and uninterested in life.
After hospitalization he receives firm, sensible care initial fasting with water, a warm loose box, monitored feeding, plenty of exercise and socialisation with the other dogs; he joins their scrimmages, jostles for food and soon becomes lithe, muscular and vigorous.
The contrast shows that affectionate indulgence alone can be harmful; structured discipline, moderation and an active, stimulating environment restore health. Herriot’s realistic, non‑medical treatment removal from pampering and immersion in disciplined routine proves recovery is often social and environmental rather than surgical.
