Check for ammonia. Is the tank properly cycled ? If you read ammonia then water change, add seachem prime, and pray that the dammage aren't so bad.
Your fish is likely suffering from oxygen deprivation. Its head was wedged and could not get sufficient water over its gills. The cloudy/bloody eye is likely due to it banging around trying to free itself. I have seen fish recover form this rapidly if caught in time. I would add maybe an extra air pump or a power head with an air line attachment just to get more oxygen into the water. Keep the water as pristine as possible and maybe add some melafix or stress coat.
