Dog ate portulaca. Is hydrogen peroxide safe to induce vomiting?

Question

My Mom's dogs ate some portulaca plants and can not get to a vet until tomorrow morning if not until Monday. Can she give them hydrogen peroxide to help vomit it up? They are Bichons. Thank you for your help. Pet's info: Dog | Bichon Frise | Female | spayed | 12 lbs

Muscle weakness, depression, diarrhea are the main symptoms you should be looking for, it is now too late to induce vomiting i'm afraid. if they did not ingest a large quantity i would not be too concerned, it's very unlikely to be fatal, but if symptoms occur you should take them to the ER nevertheless.
