It sounds like your dog could be suffering from a urinary tract infection. This can cause increased water intake as well as occasionally green discharge from the penis if a secondary infection of the penis occurs. With a fever it is especially important to have him evaluated by the vet right away to be certain the infection hasn't ascended to the kidneys, which can be more dangerous and require more intense treatment. He should visit his veterinarian as soon as possible.
