Nerite Snail Dying?

Turnip, my Nerite snail, keeps flipping over onto his back two or three times a day, and he's not moving around much. My other Nerite in the tank is doing just fine. I moved Turnip the sick snail to a quarantine tank a day ago so I could keep a closer eye on him. I'll try to post pictures of him soon in case it's a problem with his trapdoor that I can't see; I've only had snails for a few months.
Has anyone seen something like this before? Do you think Turnip is dying or just sick?

Giving this a bump up for you hope our snail keepers can help you today
 
I just bought a ramshorn snail last Saturday one of them are floating and then a couple of hours later he's/she's fine and the Sunday afternoon one of the five snails was lying on his/her side I'm away since yesterday and be back home on weekends so I will find out if the snail lying on it's side is dead or not but as far as I notice before that happened it was clamping/holding into one of the snail so I really don't know if the other one kill it or it was just exhausted. Is Turnip just alone or does he have many snail tank mates?
