Default do fins grow back?

My poor black fan tail ,after being put inside for the winter , I noticed
his whole one half of his fat body must have been sucked to the pond
filter for a time.Now his fins are only half there .His front one just a
stub.He still eats and swims,mostly in circles.Does'nt seem to be stressed
at
all.Should I salt or use Melafix,,something for a while? Will these fins
grow back a bit?


Usually, fins grow back if the spines aren't damaged.
