My Apple snail broke its shell and was attacked. Can it recover?

Question

Hello, i have an Apple snail with a betta and a assassin snail in the same tank. My apple snail broke his shell when he was walking around the tank but he walked and was active, so i tought he was fine,but my assassin snail attacked him and now looks very bad. He isn't dead but he doesn't walk around like a normal Apple snail he just gets out of his shell and sits without walking. Is he gonna live ? I know I'm such a bad owner but please Tell me what to do.... Thanks. Pet's info: Other | Unknown - Other | Male | unneutered

Place the injured snail in a separate tank. Maintain pristine water quality and add in addition calcium, to the water and diet, to aid in recovery. It may survive with time and care, but be prepared for a loss.
