A fever over 102.5 often means infection or significant inflammation. A fever in a dog that recently had puppies could be caused by retained placenta, infection in the uterus, or mastitis. I would recommend that Blacky be examined by a vet to see what could be the cause of the fever and to start appropriate medications, if needed.
