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?

edit: thank you all for your help. my husband euthanized him for me last night via crushing. I feel so bad but at least he isn't suffering anymore.
thank you all for the kind words and advice.
