Rash on Beagle?

My sister in law's dog has some sort of a rash that is causing her coat to have patches, her nose turned pink and she just looks miserable. Does anyone know what this could be and how to treat it?

    Dogs looks TERRIBLE => see a vet IMMEDIATELY.  May (or may not) be mange.  There are two different types of mange; sarcoptic & demodectic.  If not treated quickly, a localized infection (which can be very painful) can spread and become SYSTEMIC and much more serious.

    The issue my sister-in-law is having is that the vet is charging her over $5K for a complete biopsy.  It's not affordable for her.  Vets don't necessarily have payment plans and you have to have nearly perfect credit to get approved for Care Credit which is not even an option. If anyone knows a Vet out there that would be willing to help, we would appreciate it.  The dog is located in Vacaville, CA.  

    This was her just a couple of years ago.

    There can be so many different things that can be causing this. Only a vet is qualified to diagnosed and treat the dog, for whatever problem the vet finds wrong. The dog needs to be seen by a vet IMMEDIATELY before it gets worse than it already is. The poor dog looks horrible.

    That dog needs to see a veterinarian for correct diagnosis NOW.
