Default water dragon health

hi ya guys just wonderin if any of you could help me with my one of my water dragons. What it is I have 2 Water dragons and recently was given another 2 by the local reptile shop which they had rescued. One is very active like my other 2 but the other is very lazy and seems to have a problem with its eyes. It can open them when it feels like it but most of the time they are closed. When the eyes are open they seem to be covered with what looks like a sort of mucus film.

any thoughts on what it is and what can be done about it........

thanks
Allan

at the moment a warm bath might help, but it sounds like an infection and a visit to the vet is poss in order

PS- It's Uro, as in Uromastyx. You can tell the difference as a Euro will be firmly grasped in a garlic smelling hand.

If you think they are infected then a trip to the vets may be needed.

I would have thought an eye problem like that may also affect his activity as well.
