If the damage is into the fish's flesh and not just fin there is really nothing you can do and the missing fin will not grow back properly if at all. It sounds as if the fish is very stressed ( no surprize, I would be too) and to be totally honest there really isn't a thing you can do. The fish may recover some, but that's a long shot.
The best thing you can do is watch for fungus of infection on the wound and be ready to treat for that if the fish makes it through the stress.
