First thing would be to take her to the vet to rule out any other health issue that might be causing her behavior to change.

Sorry. I should have said so. She has no health issues except arthritis.

I had a rottie that was 12 1/2 years old he never was mean or snapped at anyone but he did start he was in pain and the aspirin didnt help anymore he didnt even want to get up either. He even started to snap at us so I'm sad to say we had to have him put down we knew it was best for him in the long run.
I hope yours is feeling better now and you still get more years out of her.
