[Help] Rott has painful disease, Pit has anxiety attack when he yelps

My ~5 years old male Rott suffers from Symmetrical Lupoid Onychdystrophy, an autoimmune disorder that affects the nails. During a flare up, he and our other dog will begin licking at his feet but everything appears normal. A few days later, his nails start lifting, like the hood of a car. It is painful, bloody, and exhausting.Fortunately, after the first flare up most of his nails never grew back. He has these little hard, rough, black nubbies that look like nails, but they are super short, rounded, and don't grow (or they grow slow enough that it's been undetectable over the course of two years). A few nails grow like normal, albeit much slower than pre SLO. Two are super super crooked - one of which is causing problems right now.Here is an album of his nails. Please don't tell me his nails are too long and I should grind them down, or mention my disgusting floor - I promise I really do clean, and our vet recommended we not touch his nails because there's no way to know where the blood supply and nerve endings are since they're so messed up.http://ift.tt/2ssyPAz for the real issue - The long crooked nail is falling off, so he yelps once in a while. When he yelps, our other dog gets severe anxiety. He has to sit/lay on me, but that's not enough! He tries to CLIMB me - if he could find a way, he'd be sitting on my head right now. He paws at me, but it's not just a gentle tap, he actually squeezes me with his paw and pulls me toward him. I cannot get him to stop. It's been 36 hours of this. The Rott isn't yelping constantly - maybe once every hour or so - but it still is affecting the Pit pretty severely. He is hiding in the corner of the couch behind my head pawing at me right now. He laid on top of my head all night.I know he's scared, I know he wants cuddles - but he is killing me! I have bruises where he's pawing at me, and I can't just walk around with 70 lbs dog on my head all day! His anxiety increases 10 fold if I put him in another room or a kennel (they haven't been in one for years) and he begins shaking and barking I nanny way that I can only describe as a fearful yell for help.Tl;Dr - Dog A yelps, Dog B freaks out for hours. Panic attack ensues, mom can't calm him, mom ends up being clawed to death by dog B trying to climb. Before dog B calms down, Dog A yelps again. Cycles continues, panic increases exponentially. via /r/dogs http://ift.tt/2ruIw4l
