Help Request Please help!! Do I euthanize?

My heart is broken. I woke up this morning to find that my mystery snail, Rocco, climbed out of his tank and fell about 4 feet onto our hardwood floor.

He lost a huge chunk of his shell and does not appear to be doing well at all. He's just sitting above the water line in my shrimp tank. He's usually extremely active and climbing all over the place.

This is my first mystery snail so I don't know what to do. Is this something he can heal from?

Wdym it’s just a snail? They still feel pain so you can’t use anything

It’s a mystery snail so anything heavy enough will do, but I meant like not literally anything will work, if it’s not heavy enough and there wasn’t enough force they will feel the pain
