That is true, and I should really enjoy the quiet while I can, because he is usually anything but.
When I was googling dog laryngitis I came up with a bunch of things about complications after debarking surgery....I can't imagine actually doing surgery on a dogs voicebox to stop barking

Wow. Debarking surgery; that sounds like it nearly falls into the 'cruelty to animals' category...
And Jennifer, I hope he's over his laryingitis soon...
We had the same problem with one of our dogs a few years ago. The boarding kennel politely suggested we not try to board her again; she barked non stop for the few days she was there. It took probably a week for her voice to come back, but she was fine.
When we go out of town we now get a house sitter. This may not work for emergency situations, but for any planned trip it is wonderful. We have someone staying in the house, picking up mail, etc... plus taking care of the animals. We've never paid for this service since we live in an area close to where folks like to vacation it is normally easy to find someone coming our way. We've also had a couple stay here who just were coming to visit their kids in the area but who didn't have enough room to put them up.
It is something to consider - we've had great luck with it!

Come on Jen, Im sure there's a way with marker training that you can get Yote to gargle some salt water!
Honey is a wonderful diverse all natural remedy for larangitis.
If his throat is inflamed the honey would not only coat and soothe but it also has anit-inflammatory properties (it's great for wounds too!) Would Yote take some honey off a spoon? I know it's a high sugar item, but it's a natural sugar and I don't think a few teaspoons a day would do much damage. IMO.
Also, i looked up a few things and they said the best thing is to not speak when you have larangitis, not even whisper. But I guess that would be hard to explain to a dog. But if you can, keep him as quiet as possible??
He is doing a little better, he barooed to my husband this morning in greeting and sound actually came out.
He needs too much supervision to be left with a petsitter, especially with the aggression issues between him and Loki,
I don't trust anyone else to keep them safe from each other right now.
He doesn't like honey, I already tried that, or tea, I did give him some yogurt that I froze in the freezer and then the warm broth yesterday and this morning, and I put some warm broth on his food.
