I strongly recommend that you have your dog examined by a vet since she is considered an old dog and very heavy and therefore could be suffering from painful arthritis which in turn may make her aggressive. If pain is the culprit, then NSAIDs given regularly will help control that pain and the aggression may stop. I would be worried that she will hurt your other pets and ultimately the humans in the house (not just your brother). Best keep her separated from the cats until you take her to the vet.
