Unless fed really bad food at that age her teeth shouldn't be bad. Going into heat doesn't cause shaking or panting but she should have been spayed before any heats to prevent breast cancer. The risk rises with every heat until about 2 yrs old when she has the same risk as an unspayed bitch. Panting and shaking could be stress related, mild seizures, being hot or cold but not hot and cold at the same time obviously. She needs a vet exam, bad breath which smells like urine could be kidney or urinary problems and breath that smells sweet to be diabetes. A rotting smell could be something caught in her teeth bad teeth or even cancer.
