One of my tiger silver dollars got attacked, i assume by my clown knife. The SD lost his eye and has some flesh hanging out on its cheek. I took out the fish and put it in my quarantine. Is there anything i should be doing to prevent infection or promote healing? Will the eye socket heal? Ive never had this happen, I assume the fish doesn't need put down and will heal and be fine with just one eye? 20160320_141916.jpg
 
clean water and some aquarium salt should take care of this.
