Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I'm sorry to hear Luna is having issues. You can treat for them concurrently, and I would recommend getting her dewormed to treat her tapeworms. Tapeworms come from ingestion of fleas, so I would also ensure that she doesn't have a flea infection as well. Good luck!
