Never had that happen to me, but I've noticed, that hogs sometimes, for no particular reason whatsoever, can become quite volatile in temperment @ certain times. For example, my '05 male Western is very hissy and hornery right now. He's not about to shed, not hungry, --- just does not feel like being bothered.
Also often I've heard tales of people using wierd stuff (tuna water, chicken broth) to stimulate feeding in their hogs. Who knows, maybe something in the soap you used triggered a feeding response.
