Take it to the vet and get a full work up on it . . . blood work, physical, check the teeth, check the thyroid (blood work), check for lyme disease and other similar diseases, if the vet thinks its neccessary, x-ray hips, elbows, knees, back.
Whats the best thing to do if your dog bites you
If your obviously not mistreating your dog, but your own dog bites you,
what's the best thing to do?
My friend has a moody dog that bit his wife and another friend of his.
Should he put the dog to sleep, given that the dog is turning on members of the family? I know this is common practice in the rural South.
Please help.
In both cases, the dog was being pet when he attacked.

If his hips are aching that could be why he is getting easily aggitated. Putting him on a joint supplement and possibly a pain killer might help (again, consult a vet). Also, older dogs often have bad teeth that need to be pulled. Most dogs when they have bad teeth are VERY cranky, as are most people.
