Help! Beagle has two bald itchy patches on back.

[MissNutmeg]

I think my beagle has Mange. I cannot afford a vet bill at the moment so I thought I could treat it at home. Could I use Garden & Poultry dust to cure this? Is it safe?

No.
That will not cure mange.

If Sarcoptic mange you really should take him to a vet to get proper medication.
It is not an easy thing to get rid of.

But then maybe it might not be mange.... I really don't know what it is....

Have you checked her over well for fleas?

I wasn't looking for fleas when I first noticed the patches on his back. He has been constantly licking the areas even while I hold him.

I'll get a pic later!!

Do you deworm your dog?
Internal worms can present in hair loss too.

He got deworming treatment three months ago........

Okay so I inspected the two areas further. They like look like hard thick scabs that is pus-filled and it seems to be really itchy for him.... I don't think its mange now.

(Like I said, I'll send pics later)

Great.
Check for fleas.
Fleas can eat the skin raw which may have got infected.
