The other day I was doing a water change and moved my fish to a temporary space while doing so. Unfortunately, one of my white cloud mountain minnows got a little squished against the glass while I was trying to extract him with the net. Since then he's been sluggish and confused; did not eat with the rest of his crew when I fed them this morning. He was trouble moving and will sort of float around the tank with the very slight current. Also, it looks like someone took a nip out of his tail.

Is it time to put him down? I keep hoping he'll push through, as it's been a few days of this behavior but he has clung to life and I want to give him a chance. I have no idea how to treat him though, since this is clearly due to a mechanical injury.
