I would say take him to the vet asap. Kittens not eating can become a very serious problem very quickly. Kola stopped eating several times and the vet had me syringe feed her a mix of a/d prescription food and KMR. You can also try giving him some Nutrical. A 2 month old will need less than a teaspoon a day, if he doesn't like it (which most kitties do) you can smear it down his arm to make him lick it off. This stuff has lots of calories and nutrients to keep them going when they're not eating as they should be. Have you tried heating up the canned food or the KMR? Sometimes heat releases the smell of the food which makes it more appealing to them. Good Luck, this is one of the most frustrating things that can happen to a baby!
