Yes, this exact thing happened to Lexi when she was last groomed. I was so mad at myself because I never intended to have her anal glands expressed, but I forgot to tell the groomer so she did them. When she came home, she wouldn't walk more than a few steps without sitting down and quickly snatching her head around to her back end. She was so uncomfortable and I felt awful. It lasted about 2 days and she was back to normal. I don't know what the groomer did but I'm sure she irritated them in some way.
Just thinking about it now I'm still mad a myself for forgetting to tell the groomer not to express her anals. If she's not having a problem I'd just rather they leave them alone. And, if she does need them done, I'd rather have it done at the vet.
