Puppy walking in C shape since grooming

We took our 16 week old Maltipoo for her first grooming 3 days ago, hoping we could just get rid of a few inches but sadly she had some matting (my fault) so the groomer advised to shave her off all the way. The whole procedure was super stressful for her- she was crying and barking the entire time.
Since I took her home she’s been walking in a C shape and crying while walking all the time. We took her to a vet today and he couldn’t find any physical damage to her skin or bones, but gave her some painkiller. She hasn’t been herself in general, cries a lot, barks randomly and keep sniffing/licking around her bum and tail area. Can it be trauma or she’s just not used to being without her long hair yet?
