I have a 5 month old Boston Terrier that eats birdseed. This has been an
on-going problem as she gets sick for a day or two after. I've taken her
to the vet several times for treatment and they could not give any
suggestions on how to make her stop. I've tried covering the ground with
a tarp when she's around it and also sprinkling tabasco sauce on the
ground...any other suggestions?

move your birdfeeder to an area she doesn't have access too. Birdseed
blockage can kill her.

There is an "anti squirrel" powder which has red pepper in it, that
birds don't mind. It gets mixed with the seed. It may work, but if
not, move the feeder.

A bird table so that the seed is out of reach?

That could work, however, this is at a relatives house and they have
approx. 5 or more feeders.

how often are you there and for how long? Keep the dog in or leashed.
