If your turtle is swollen and you notice that his shell is softening it is blood poisoning.
If treated by a reptile vet immediately your turtle will be put on a drip. However if left a few days there is no cure and the best thing to do is put your turtle out of misery as it is a terrible death.
I am not sure as to why this happens, it has only happened to one of mine and i did everything right.
unfortunately i could not find a reptile vet in time(they are hard to find)
Never keep other turtles in the same water with sick ones.

Should a turtle be swollen and sticking out of its shell.?
Short answer: no. If your turtle's skin is swollen and bulging out of the shell, it is probably due to the fact that the turtle is not spending enough time out of water. A turtle does not live solely in water. Forcing it to constantly live in an aquatic environment causes the body to fill with moisture, causing it to swell. Give it sunlight and time to roam outside every day.

Your red eared slider turtle has been basking for a few hours now and bubbles are coming out of her nose Is that normal?
Bubbles from the nose could be a sign of a respiratory infection. Others signs of a respiratory infection would be clogged or runny nostrils, lack of appetite, swollen eyes, and open mouth gasping/wheezing. I would be suspicious of the bubbles if the turtle was not in the water.
