Subject: Injured Oscar

First of all, what are you feeding him. Oscar usually don't "jump" unless you're feeding them floating food. If you feed them live fish they won't jump, usually.
It may not make you feel better but one of my common oscars jumped completely out of the tank when my son was feeding them floating food....my son didn't know what to do so he called me at work. To make a long story short, my fish was on the floor floppin' around for 15 minutes, and he is as healthy as he ever was, they are tough fish.
How long since he ate last? If it hasn't been a few weeks yet, I wouldn't worry,...yet! If he isn't eating after 10-14 days (after the head trauma) I would find a qualified pet store and see if they can help.
