Doesn't look to be an injury (doesn't look like a raccoon, either, but can't remember what kind it is - auriga/threadfin is what I'm thinking but it's been a long time since I looked at different types of butterflies).

I would get some sort of medicine that can be fed to the fish via soaking the food and treat for bacterial and parasitic infections. It doesn't look like worms in the eyes or anything like that, but if it's going downhill, try treating for a broad spectrum of ailments and targeting it by feeding instead of just dosing the tank. Also may simply be a sign of age in the fish or other ailment that you have no control over.

Wish I could be of more help, but can't really tell what it is.
