Brilliant advice. Poor Harry probably just feeling too bad to brook any other dogs being dogs right now and he just mistakenly redirected his aggression to the nearest warm body out of pain, frustration and agitation. Watch your other dogs' body language at all times when they are around Harry & when they begin to focus on him or get too near him, step in before they decide to go for him, using yourself or whatever you have at hand to reach in to keep them off that poor, poor suffering baby if they launch should you act too late; but, ideally, tell them "no!" in firm, confident, sharp voice when they alert to him and stand up, walk toward them and back them off before they move toward him. Then stand them down, staring into their eyes and pointing the direction you want them to go until they soften, give up and leave the area.

Hope you are okay and hugs to sweet Harry.
