Default Blood on rectum

Sorry this is long.

This morning I discovered blood on Deuce's rectum. Found the poop but it did not have blood on it. It was soft but did have some jelly-like substance in it. I also found scoot marks of blood on a couple of the rugs in the house. Taking him to the vet at noon.

Background:
May 16 - Deuce had a bout of diarrhea. Got up at night. I took him to the vet the next day. I brought in some poop for test. She did an exam,put him on chicken and rice and prescribed him metronidazole 50 mg 1/2 tab twice a day for 7 days. In two days he was fine so I continued the meds and began to put him back on his dry food by mixing it into the chick/rice. All seemed normal.

June 12 - Gave him his first half of Heartguard Plus. A few hours later he had diarrhea and then a miserable night with squirting Diarrhea. We went back to the Vet, she checked him out and we concluded that the culprit might have been the Heartguard Plus so we did another round of Metronidazole, chick and rice and within two days he was doing fine. I did put some of his dog chow in the food since he was spitting out the rice and seemed to be hungry.

The past week his stools had first a white slime on part of it then there was a jelly like substance. Some stools were soft some were a bit hard. I was feeding him his dry food with some chicken and he was eating twice a day.

Question: Wondering if it is his dry food (Innova - been on that for two years) or was it the Heartworm Meds or am I feeding him too much?

Since he spits out the rice what do I feed him?
