You don't need to include additional libraries in your project. There are no dependency conflicts. In addition, RestFB is highly portable and can be used in both Android projects and normal Java applications.
Although we provide a standard implementation for our core components, each component can be replaced with a custom implementation. This allows RestFB to be easily integrated into any kind of project. Even Android projects are supported.
TThe RestFB API is really minimal and you only need to use one method to get information from Facebook and one to publish new items to Facebook. We provide default implementations for all the core components, so you can drop the jar into your project and be ready to go.
Our Facebook types are simple POJOs with special annotations. This configuration is designed for ease of use and can be used to define custom types very easily.
Newest Version of the
library is available from RestFB's home on Github.

RestFB is a single JAR - just drop it into your application and you're ready to go. Download it from

Client presents with behavior change →
Step 1: Medical workup (pain, endocrine, neuro, sensory) → If positive: treat medical cause → re-evaluate behavior.
Step 2: If no medical cause → behavior diagnosis (anxiety, aggression, compulsive) → environmental modification + behavior modification ± medication.
Step 3: Recheck in 2–4 weeks; adjust plan.
Step 4: Refer if severe aggression, poor response, or complex case.
The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated a trend in animal behavior and veterinary science: remote consultation.
While you cannot palpate a spleen over Zoom, you can absolutely analyze behavior. Owners can record videos of their dog’s "zoomies," sleep postures, or aggressive displays in the home environment—data impossible to replicate in a sterile exam room.
Veterinary behaviorists now routinely perform "virtual home visits" to assess:
This remote data collection, combined with in-person veterinary physicals, creates the most complete picture of the patient's health ever available.
Sudden changes in behavior are frequently the first indicator of underlying physical illness. Common examples include:
A significant shift in modern veterinary practice is the move toward "Fear Free" or "Low Stress Handling."
Because the intersection of animal behavior and veterinary science is so complex, a new specialty has emerged: the Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists (DACVB).
These are veterinarians who complete a residency in clinical ethology. They are uniquely qualified because they hold two keys:
They bridge the gap that standard trainers cannot. For example, a trainer might see a dog snapping at children as a "dominance issue." A veterinary behaviorist will ask: Could this dog have a tooth abscess? Is there a visual deficit causing startle? Is there a seizure disorder? By answering the medical question first, they prevent tragic misdiagnoses.
