I have read all the material on worms and she has all the symptoms, so do I worm her?

You can't be SURE it's worms.
It might be a bother to take her to a vet ASAP, but even if it was 'just worms' you will still know for sure your puppy is ok.
He/She is very young and I would do everything to make sure they are not suffering.
It COULD be a more serious problem, and it could be nothing, but please do go find out.
I think we are talking what... $60?
It might be worth it!

She's 10 weeks old...you can't tell all the symptoms apart from her being a very young puppy. But if you are seeing symptoms that indicate worms...you should definitely be taking her into a vet and let them determine what action is/isn't necessary.
When dealing with pets you should treat them like 2 year old children...they can tell you about the same with regards to how they feel/any symptoms they may have as a 2 year old child can.

No you take her to the vet have him do a fecal and let the vet diagnose the problem or worm your dog accordingly. The over the counter de-worming crap does not work so a vet consult is needed.

yes, go to your vet and they should de-worm her for you, and also give her the proper vaccines that she will need to receive.

Your pup needs a visit to the vet. Please do so. She can die without treatment and a vet is best.
