Here is a case prescribed for by Dent:

"I have an English setter dog about twenty months old that acts as though he had something in his throat. It affects his breathing, and when he first showed symptoms of it his eyes were red and ran matter. He eats sometimes, but at others will not eat; is healthy and bright. I can put my finger under his throat and press very lightly, and it almost shuts off his wind. It seems as though there was a kind of bunch in his throat that is not natural. (1) Would inflammation of the larynx cause it? (2) Is there such a thing as a tumor of the larynx? I had him in swimming about four weeks ago, and when he was in the water his breathing sounded like the voice of a frog. Please diagnose and prescribe. Ans. - (1) Yes. (2) Yes. Your dog has laryngitis; give the following: Glycrrhiza two drams, muriate of ammonia one dram, tincture opium thirty minims, water to make two ounces; dose one teaspoonful every four hours."
