I'm very sorry for your loss! Yesterday I posted a link to an article about the causes of death of dogs at groomers. From the article: "Blunt-force trauma was responsible for the deaths of 31% of the animals, with a higher incidence of trauma to the head, characterized chiefly by fractures and nervous tissue lesions. In the other 69% of cases, the animals showed signs of stress, and died due to pulmonary edema and hemorrhage." For your own peace of mind, I hope you have an autopsy done to find out exactly what happened.
