Since he's been home, he's been acting strange.
He hasn't really barked, and hasn't gotten excited like he usually does.
And he licks his privacy areas like CRAZY. NON STOP since he's been home pretty much.
His body feels really warm- and sometimes he'll shake.
he's just not acting the same.
He curls up in a little ball and just lays there. It really worries me.
He doesn't even move when I get out of bed now.
He acts like he doesn't even want to walk really, and he doesn't want to
play or anyhing- it's not normal.
I'm not sure what to do- maybe it scared him?

You have had your new boy for a few weeks and have not had him to the vet yet?
Even when you are unsure about his health history because he was abandoned? I don't want to sound too pushy here but I think the vet should have come BEFORE the groomers.
Call first thing in the morning and get that little boy in for a check up and get some shots started. If you have no record of puppy shots, you will have to start from scratch. Let the vet know about your concerns since the grooming appointment. It may just be that he is very tired from the experience and he may be licking more because of nervousness, encountering a female at the groomers, or even because they cut hair there and it feels different to him. It could even be that they shaved too close and he has a sore spot. But the vet checkup and shots are of more importance right now. Get thee to a vet!
