Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Oreo! Fast food is very heacvy in fat and a lot of fat can upset the pancreas and the intestinal tract. If they are nauseous or feel painful then they can shake. I would fast her for 12 hours then feed a bland diet of boiled chicken or hamburger with rice. Feed 1 cup per 20 lbs per day for 5-7 days. If she starts vomiting then I would contact your Vet. If her breathing persists at being abnormal it also may be a good idea to have her examined. I wish you the best
