    I had seen a case like this which had a fever of 106+ , it was a siberian husky. vomiting, bleeding stool, and temp never fell down. We put him on p[aracetamol once in 6hrs, dicrystin , enro & oxytetracycline. dog died. Diagnosed as ICH or collangitis!
    most dogs find very difficult to survive at 106 + temp if it continues for more than 2 hrs and if you use NSAIDS you find bleeding !!
