In a dog Buster's age, this swelling could be due to a tumor. It could also be due to an infection. The only way to know what is causing this is to have him seen by a vet. I'd take him into one in the morning.

    If he has a swollen testicle, have him examined by your veterinarian. A fever is usuallly caused by infection, so that should be addressed during the visit. After an exam, pain medication can be dispensed if necessary. If Jeter is not a show dog or won't be used as a stud, he should be neutered.
