She is very likely ill. Please take her to the vet for a complete check-up.
Meanwhile, for tonight, You can give her Chamomile tea, to help her nerve endings calm her down.
Chamomile tea works very well, and is safe for her. Dump it out of the teabag, and use 1 teaspoon for small breed, up to 1 tablespoon for a large breed. Mix it in a little canned food, such as Mighty Dog, or Cesar’s, It will keep her happy, but reduce stress. It can be given as needed.
If your grocer doesn’t carry chamomile, you can use ‘Sleepy-time Tea’ as it is the same,but with added herbs. Plain chamomile tastes better to a dog. chetco

what has changed in her environment? changes in schedule? new people? new food? any of those could constitute a change in behavior. pixie_minx2001

what were the circumstances…did the dog feel threatened? or cornered? There are a few acceptable situations for a dog to bite. If there was no threat then you may have a bigger issue. kat

sound’s like age could be a big factor, i would talk to the vet before anything more happens it could also be a loss of site he/she could be getting scared when some one tries to pet her and she can’t see it.
consult a vet asap. pandala777

There must be some reason she bit 4 people all of a sudden. Were they teasing or threatening her? If not, she must have a medical problem do make her do something so out of character. A vet will be able to help you. 420Linda

The dog days of summer are upon us. Doggies get testy in the hot weather. I hope she didn’t break the skin on the four people she bit. If they have to go to the ER, the dog bites are reportable and some authorities will knock on your door. Perhaps the vet can solve this personality change problem for you. I wish you luck. Susan S
