Hello! My beagle just healed from the the skin problems you mentioned in your post. He had severe itchiness, flaky skin, black small lumps, which is some kind of fungal infection on his legs and strong body odour as well. I brought him to the vet and the vet recommend this shampoo called MALASEB. Bathe him twice a week with this shampoo for a month. Then once a week for another month. If the skin still has lumps, continue to bathe him with the shampoo for another month. Also, go get some cod liver oil capsules for your beagle to get rid of the flaky skin. For the first 2 weeks, give him 2 capsules a day. Then, 1 capsule a day before giving him his food. However, just a note : once you start on the MALASEB shampoo, he will shed even more fur and may start to have bald spots in certain areas around his body. Not to worry. This is normal. The fur will grow back. However, make sure you go back to normal dog shampoo once your beagle's skin and fur has improved. The shampoo suggested by the vet is a VERY STRONG MEDICATED shampoo. To be used only on dogs that have skin problems. Hope this advice helps. "The reason a dog has so many friends, is that he wags his tail instead of his tongue" - Anonymous The Poisoned One speaks
