I was a dog groomer for over 15 years and one thing I notice is the extremely packed in undercoat on his rear end. When my cat got older her back legs matted up pretty badly. She would take swipes at me if I tried to touch the area, otherwise showed no signs of pain. I eventually just put a surgical blade on my clippers and quickly zipped through all those areas (brushing was out b/c she was too sensitive, and I needed to move super quick because she would only put up with being restrained for a couple seconds, and a surgical blade is the safest in terms of not giving them a bad cut if they move). She looked ridiculous, but she stopped taking swipes at me, and the hair grew back and never matted again. I don't mean to make you feel bad or anything, but anything you can do to get rid of that undercoat will probably make him feel a lot better.

Build the good boy an elevated bed so he can guard Clare comfortably.

It's amazing what dogs do for babies. They will turn against their own owner's to protect babies.
