Question
recommend me what can i give to my pet(dog) to heal its minor wounds n recommend me the best doctor of karachi for my dog


Answer
Nina,
 If the minor wounds are skin irritations or small cuts you can use peroxide to clean the area then put basitration
or any type of over the counter anti-bacterial ointment on it. There is no need for a bandage because it will actually cause more irritation, and your dog will just try to take it off anyway.
If it's just a slight irritation you can also use gold bond medicated powder after cleaning it with the peroxide.
 Also for a more homeopathic way , you can take a used
herbal tea bag and place it on the infected area after rinsing the area with warm water or peroxide . Keep it there gently for about two or three mins. Longer if the dog will sit still for you. Then let it air dry or if you have
an aloe plant hanging around , break off a piece and open it up and rub the juice from it directly on the wounds. If you have a cone to place on the dog to keep him from licking his wounds this will be of great assistance to you because it will keep him away from any of the treatments you choose to use and allow time for the wounds to heal. I know the famous saying that a dogs saliva is great for a cut but it really only helps once there is a scab in place.
It helps quicken the rate of healing time and reduce scarring.
 As far as the karachi you mentioned, I looked up the word because it didn't sound familliar to me and I could not get a correct definition. I even changed the spelling a couple of different ways and still came up with nothing. Are you sure your spelling it correctly or maybe try to spell it phonetically for me if you care to respond back to my answer. I am not sure of what it is your trying to say.
And as far as recommending a doctor for your dog...I don't know what state and city you are from so unless you are local to Fall River , MA , I am afraid I can be of no assistance to you there.
 I hope I have been of some help to you.
 Good luck and best wishes to you and your pet!
