Bruise/dent on my bolivian ram's head?

Question

For four days, I noticed my female bolivian ram was not very active and not eating. Today I found out that she has a dent on her head, looking like a bruise. She is not interested in eating, swimming but just sits ontop of the internal filter. I think I might have accidentally squished it against the glass when I put my driftwood in that I had been soaking for a few months.

Will she recover and is there anyting I can do?

Answer 1

if you have squished her, she might be hurt very badly

if she has chance of recovery, just make sure you keep the water as clean as possible, with good parameters

and make sure none of the other fish harass her

if you can, put her in a hospital tank, but that's about all you can do :(
