Now that he is eating again from mum, and as long as he is gaining weight, I would not complicate things right now with any other supplements. If you gave him something and he suddenly got runny poo or other symptoms, then you would not know what had caused it. If he is not gaining weight then you could ask your vet about supplements, but probably in that case an extra feeding with KMR or goat milk would be sufficient.
The breathing and heart rate worry me. I suspect there may be something genetic going on. My Persil had very fast breathing as a kitten and a high heart rate, plus no appetite, and it was due to a hole in her diaphragm, which had to be corrected by surgery. She was originally diagnosed with gastro-enteritis, but the hernia was found at xray. She is now 12 years old and fine.
