Detailed explanation-1: -“Well, he has his little walks with me as you can see, but Hodgkin, the gardener, has been down with lumbago, so there has been no ring-throwing lately.” Tricki, a small dog, is pampered and overfed by his rich mistress. He falls seriously ill and his mistress consults a veterinary surgeon.
Detailed explanation-2: -The answer to your question is : Tricki wasn’t able to get enough exercise at home because his Mistress Mrs. pumphrey was overfeeding him and now he’s not able to move due to malnutrition.
Detailed explanation-3: -Lumbago here refers to a medical condition of pain in the muscles and joints of the lower back. The ring-throwing is an activity that the dog had been actively participating in, with help from the gardener. But the health of the gardener now, did not allow the activity to continue.
Detailed explanation-4: -When Mr Herriot inquired with Mrs Pumphrey about giving Tricki an exercise routine, she said he was doing only little walks. The gardener used to play ring-throw with him but stopped doing so as the dog was suffering from muscular pain in the back.
