Need Help

I have 4 dogs all mixed breeds Daisy is dalmatian mix, Princess is rottweiler mix, Lucky chow/black lab mix and Copper who is corgi mix, Daisy's 10 Princess is 9 going on 10 I believe, Lucky is 6 Copper is 3 or 4

Anyway my problem is Princess she has always been a scared dog when I got her she was abused she would be afraid of everything even a garbage bag but for some reason now she's being aggressive towards the other dogs especially Daisy for some reason, she has attacked Daisy twice, even tho Daisy drew blood, Princess has attacked Copper also, but the aggression is toward Daisy the most, Princess will growls at lucky but hasn't attacked her yet I don't understand why she is doing this now. Princess been with Daisy since she was 6 months well I believe thats how old Princess was when I got her going on what the people told me.

Also I notice sometimes when I give them treats bonies Princess will wait until all the rest of the dogs eat theirs and then will sit with her's and wait for one to come next to her so she can go after them. Don't know what to do, I don't want her attacking the other dogs and I also don't want it to get bad where she will attack anyone. Also Princess has growled at me when she would never do before.

What do I do?

I would take her to the vet and have her checked out. She could be in pain and that is why she is acting out.

Don't know what she would be in pain from, had her since she was 6months old she's 9 now and she never been like this she was always afraid of things, and now she'll sometimes growl if one of the dogs come next to her i could be eating something and she'll be by but not close by daisy come next to me she'll growl at her for some reason its against daisy all of a sudden, my mother said maybe its because she's getting old and doesn't want to be bothered.

But I don't want her to hurt one of the other dogs, or anyone esle

Well princess is still being her mean self, I don't understand why she is going after daisy, princess, lucky and copper all be in the room together laying on the floor daisy will come in to try to get under the bed and princess growls at her. Maybe it is just old age getting to her someone else told me maybe she needs a temperament shot
