My 5 month old shih tzu seems to be depressed after his first grooming and haircut

My dog is not eating much and doesn't eat his treats, He had his first grooming and haircut last February 20. He used to be very hairy but since its very hot nowadays, we asked the groomer to give him a summer cut. Ever since the groom, he is not lively and just sleeps all the time. He doesnt even eat his treats. What can i do?

Take him to the vet. He could have picked up.an illness from another dog while at the groomer.
Were you with her all the time during the grooming process?
Thanks for all your reply, he died last Friday :( we brought him to his vet last Thursday but she just gave us medicines since he is dehydrated and told us that his breathing difficulty is because of stress and look at his blood but after looking at the results, she just gave us a new medicine. On Friday morning, we bought him in an actual pet hospital because he is experiencing some chills. He is negative for parvo and distemper but his platelet is down to 1, so they confined him and gave him new meds and some IV's since he is weak and doesn't want to eat. A few hours later they told us that he was stable. Upon going to the hospital to check on him, they told us that he has collapsed and died. The finding is K9 Dengue :( An infected tick must have bit him a few weeks back and since the symptoms only appeared laast week, we are very confused on why did he deteriorate so rapidly. My heart is broken. He has been with us for only 3 months but it feels like forever. Hope i get through this pain. Please pray for the soul of my baby.
