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)

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.

Give it sunlight and time to roam outside every day.
