Hello all our large grass carp jumped out of our pond and landing on dirt and stones flapping for a minute before husband got him back in breaking net during as going mad. Anyway had cuts and grazes and blood all over him for week or so and tail went dark red now I’ve noticed this morning green muck attached to wound area
What can we do ? He doesn’t appear to be eating like he does l, anyone got advice ?

Have you tested your water? "...all our large grass carp jumped out of our pond and landing on dirt and stones" That is not normal for all of the fish to jump out like that. Ammonia poisoning or some sort of electrical shock issue is about all I can think of. Ammonia tops my list especially with the red blotches on that and other fish. Can you isolate the fish in a large hospital container? Look on this site for treating fish with wounds. There is plenty of information on here. But most important, is your water quality.
Here is one post that might help:
