To check for Chlostridium and pathogenous E.coli you normally have to send a sample to a lab or do the incubation yourself. Even a non-Italian vet (strange point of view by the way) would need some time for that. Apart from time is another problem that facaessamples often don´t show the same bacterial population like the small intestins.
Only very, very few poisons cause high temperature and it is not very likely that a wolfdog will stay in the sun when having the choice till it gets such severe problems. Strychnin for example causes extreme convulsions as a main symptom. Cumarinderivates that are nowadays used in rat-poison cause melena but not higher temperature...
Americani don´t you have toxicological emergency centers in Italy? In Germany you can call them, tell them the symptoms and they will tell you what poisons are a possible cause.
