Please help me and my poor baby

Hi so i have a baby shih tzu of 11 months old(she turns a year next month), and im in a very desperate situation, i recently found out that she likely ate half of a chocolate chip cookie(homemade and 2 inches width and one inch in length), she weighs 12 pounds and my mom told me to give her two teaspoon of 3% hydrogen peroxide(im assuming she got this from online since we didnt get this from a vet) , i told my mom that i can pay for the er expenses and even drive since i have a permit but unfortunately my mom refuses to let me go out to take her, im very concerned since its been three hours and she hasnt acted anything out of the ordinary. And i cant ask a family member to take me to take my dog because i can cover the fees since my mom wont let me. l dont know what to do since any other form of support is either behind a pay wall or backed up by AI and i dont want to do anything incorrect due to ai being known for being incorrect at times. If any of you guys could give me advice that would be great. 🫂 l sent this to the shih tzu subreddit already but im still worried.

Don’t give hydrogen peroxide. That little amount of chocolate most likely won’t do anything. Worst case she might have some diarrhea tomorrow. I’m a vet veterinarian.
