Then whomever is caring for your turtle needs to get it to the vet.

Is this an aquatic turtle or is this a land turtle? Aquatic turtles live in the water.

Honestly, I’ve never encountered it before, but I would imagine – assuming this is an aquatic turtle – that it’s due to infection from bad water.

No.  Not at all.  Please get your turtle to the vet.

And you’re changing the water daily? Hmm. Are you treating the water to ensure it’s safe?

Well, my guess still goes to infection. Unfortunately this *may* require prescribed meds from your vet. As I am NOT a vet, I cannot tell you exactly what might be needed.
