What you absolutely shouldn't do is try to give your dog medication at home - human fever reducers (called "antipyretics" on the bottle) such as Tylenol, Advil, Aleve, Motrin, ibuprofen, aspirin, acetominophen and others are very toxic to dogs and you can cause a fatal stomach ulcer pretty easily with these drugs.
When your dog has a fever it's best to see a vet. There can be too many reasons why your dog has a fever and it should be diagnosed by your vet. Be sure there is lots of water for your dog. Pay attention to whether they are eating or not. Try to get a stool sample (let them have a poo outside and then stick a piece into a clean empty pill bottle) an hour or so before going to the vets. This will help the vet determine what is going on with your dog.
Aspirin is not toxic to dogs.
A typical aspirin dose is 5 to 10 mg per pound (10 to 20 mg/kg) twice daily for dogs, and 5 mg per pound (10 mg/kg) once every other day for cats.
You should definitely see a vet about your dog's fever BUT I see no reason to make it suffer while you wait for an appointment.
