I did understand that the dog escaped out of the yard.
The only poison that I know of without looking everything up that causes such a high temperature would have killed the dog by now.
If the dog would have get antibiotics and good other treatment an infection could have been solved quite soon.
I don´t think it will be found out what the reason was but Americani asked for possibilities and though one gets a different impression are infections more common then poisoning in such cases.

For humans there is the Centro Antiveleni, they deal mainly with substance which are known - e.g. one has eaten some fungi, you keep the rest and provide them with information, than they can help.

The way I´ve learnt it in Italy is that you ask the Corpo Forestale/Vet to send in a sample of the substance for analysis.

Normally it should be possible to give a call and describe the symptoms to get a list of toxical possibilities.
