Can dogs loose their voice?

Tia's bark has been very high pitched today (it is normally quite deep). She was barking a lot yesterday, so this made me wonder whether dogs can loose their voice like we can? Or is this something I should be concerned about? She seems fine otherwise.

It looks like they can

LARYNGITIS

Trauma to the larynx, viral/bacterial infections, heat stroke, excitement and excessive barking can all lead to inflammation and swelling of the larynx. Clinical signs include a change in the voice (hoarse barking), cough, soreness to the throat, trouble swallowing, trouble breathing including gurgling or a noisy respiration. Diagnosis is based on history and clinical signs.

Thanks for that Hali, sounds like I need to take her to the vets to get it treated.
