Praziquantel, the medication most commonly used to treat tapeworms, is safe to use during pregnancy. I would however recommend consulting a veterinarian before giving any drugs to Stashie to make sure she is healthy enough for the medication. Tapeworms are most commonly transmitted through fleas, so you may want to inspect her for fleas as well.
