The symptoms described (eyes closed during the day and blood in the fecal matter) warrant a vet visit.
Perhaps blood work and a fecal check will reveal something, but there is nothing anyone here can do to help.
He needs to go to the vet.
Please don't force feed him anymore.
It's very stressful for him and unnecessary. He can go a long time without food.
He'll make up for it when he's feeling better.
Do make sure he is getting lots of water.
