My Pomeranian collapsed after grooming. Why is he so sick now?

Question

Hi, my Pomeranian went to get groomed. We left him at the vet and they showered him, we came back to find him fully wet and collapsed on the table with oxygen masks and excessive drooling. He had a body temp of 36.3°C. Now he is home after warming him and has stiff legs, he cannot walk without wobbling, excessive salivating, he refuses to walk, completely immobile. Loss of appetite nor ability to drink water. Breathes with mouth closed and wheezes with tongue slightly out. What happened. Pet's info: Dog | Pomeranian | Male | 3 years and 6 months old

He could have a seizure from stress or collapsed from lack of oxygen from stress or gotten some water in his lungs. If he is not up and walking and not eating or drinking, he should be seen by your vet for IV fluids for supportive care and have testing done to see what is the problem. IF he aspirated, it will show up on x rays along with his heart to see if there is problem
