For the past two days, one of my musk turtles has been floating. Is this pnemonia? An eye problem?

I've had this pair since 2001 and they have been in excellent health. The smaller one just started floating. Yesterday, I gave her a sulfate dip.

Before I examined her, I noticed the male nip at her back left leg. I have never seen this type of behavior before.

Any ideas?

Thanks for all your help!!
-Chris
