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.
