Kanaplex is easily absorbed so it might be worth a shot if you think it’s fighting an infection. Also, I’d start getting some soft pipettes and materials ready in case you plan to force feed

I’m sorry to hear about your issue getting to eat. I’m just seeing this thread but If you haven’t yet, Try nightcrawlers, I’ve noticed my most stubborn rays won’t touch bloodworms or any other type of worm other than big Canadien nightcrawlers. Cut them up into appropriate pieces like others have said
If you want to try medicating then I myself would be deworming using prazi. Then I’d wait and see if they ate and if no luck still after a few days then I’d treat for bacterial with nitrofurazone

Well he is still alive. No improvements though. I would love to know why he does this all the time. Obviously something is bothering his mouth 
he will swim but turn the front part of his disc down, its quite strange.

No idea tbh mate. It does appear that a functional/neurological issue may have resulted from the toxic shipping injury he sustained.
It is hard to tell from that specific picture, but his physical condition does not appear to have reached a critical stage as yet.
Did you ever try the gel based food so he wouldn’t have to chew much?

Yeah its pretty crazy. Been 60 days now without eating. I have tried making a paste but didnt want anything to do with it.
He hasnt even tried to chew on food lately.
I loaded up a syringe with blended shrimp last night. Im ready to try and force feed but not sure if that is the best thing to do.
The seller has asked me to put him in my big tank with the other 4 rays, i have thought about this but hesitant as id hate to lose 15k in fish.
Well he passed away monday evening
very sad. I dont think there was anything I could have done differently. I wish I knew what the actual problem was.
Very sorry to hear that but you honestly did everything you could mate. What a stressful few months for ya. That really sucks
