Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -He advised her that Tricki must be hospitalised for a fortnight under his observation. Dr James Herriot was practical and pragmatic (sensible). He didn’t give any medical treatment to the dog. The dog was not given any food but lots of water.

Detailed explanation-2: -Tricki was very happy to see Mrs. Pumphrey. As soon as he saw her, he made a tremendous leap and sailed into her lap. Tricki recovered from his illness without having any medication.

Detailed explanation-3: -Solution : Dr Herriot gave no medical treatment to Tricki. He realised that the only problem of Tricki was his greed for food. For two days, he kept an eye on him. He gave him no food but plenty of water.

Detailed explanation-4: -Dr. Herriot cut down Tricki food and made him exercise. For the first three days jobs didn’t give him food but only water. He did not give any medicinal treatment but made him all day with the dogs. He discovered the joys of being bowled over, tramped on and squashed every few minutes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer: Dr. James Herriot did not keep Tricki for a long time, because he realised that Ms. Pumphrey was like a mother to Tricki, and keeping a mother and a child should not be separated from each other just because of one’s greed.
