I had a boar that started off fine but after a little less than a year
became aggressive. He had recently started rumble-strutting and thought it
might be a dominance thing with his brothers. After he started biting we
took him to be neutered, hoping that would help, but it didn't. So we went
back to the vet and it turns out that the poor little guy had
diabetes. That is enough to make anyone bad tempered! After we put him on
meds and his condition stabilized he became a sweetie again. Any time
there is a change in personality I would think you would want to rule out
sickness before you take any other action.
