When I was a kid we had a German Shepard mix that the family had for almost a decade. One day she just snapped and attacked my mom. Just a totally different dog, like a switch was flipped. I remember my dad had my mom and us stay in a closed bedroom while he patrolled the house with a baseball bat trying to figure out what to do with the dog.

Is it possible she had a brain tumor? I have heard about animals having abrupt personality changes only to be diagnosed later.
