I think people have got the wrong end of the stick of my post, yes the dog is in pain or aching, yes the cant commuticate with us but not its not ok for dogs to bite people the bigger dogs can cause serious damage!
My dog has arthritis is something hurts or shes tood on or caused pain (i dont go round hurting my dogs these are examples) She would yelp jump away her immediate reaction isnt to bit somebody!
CC i wasnt saying that a dog with a brain tomour or serious pain wouldnt bite, if it did i stated what options there would be. My dog wouldnt just bite somebody ive had her for 14 years and she hasnt yet, if she did i would then look into what was causing this as i wouldnt have a biting dog living with my 6 year old daughter. If something serious caused this then would either treat or PTS if the condition was serious.
I just thought the Op was kind of ambushed. When she needed a few kind words and some advice!
But the dog is elderly, so in theory may not have all her facultys(sp).(like when my elderly nan shouts horrible things! because she has dementia) Not that I know, just glad OP wasn't badly hurt
