Detailed explanation-1: -She told Mr. Herriot that she thought that Tricki was malnourished because he did not have any energy and excitement. She told him that she used to give him malt, cod liver oil and a bowl of Horlicks at night, apart from his regular meals so that he could sleep at night.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mrs. Pumphrey told about Tricki that he was very unenergetic. Mrs. Pumphrey thought that he must be suffering from malnutrition, so she had been giving him some little extra food between meals to build his health.
Detailed explanation-3: -Pumphrey is worried about Tricki because he would eat nothing and spend all his time lying on the rug and panting. He refused to eat his favourite dishes and would have bouts of vomiting. Tricki did not want to go for walks or do anything at all.
Detailed explanation-4: -Mrs Pumphrey thinks that the dog’s recovery is “a triumph of surgery” because in two weeks Tricki had recovered completely and had been transformed into a hard-muscled animal. When Tricki saw her he leaped into her lap and licked her face. She was so excited that tears started rolling out of her eyes.
Detailed explanation-5: -Mrs. Pumphrey was an extremely rich lady but was foolishly indulgent in pampering her dog, Tricki. She served him with cream cakes, chocolates and cod-liver oil. She did so because she treated Tricki like her son.
