Why is my dog listless with gummy eyes and a visible third eyelid?

Question

My dog is really listless, his eyes aren't fully open like there some skin over half the eye and there was gumminess on one of the eye. Pet's info: Dog | Cocker Spaniel | Male | neutered | 9 years and 6 months old

The skin over the eye is a third eye lid - it often comes up with eye infection, fever or when generally dogs are unwell. Please, take your dog to your vet and get him examined. He may have eyes or upper airways infection and he will need a course of antibiotics to get better.
