Unless you have very little space for planting I would just leave the plant there and see what happens. Plants are pretty resilient and will grow back from most damage. It may take them a little longer than normal but it should recover.

Also, if you have a slug problem try setting out pie pans with beer in them. The slugs will go in and get drunk and drown. I am doing this right now and it seems to be working. Every morning I am finding plenty of dead slugs and a few snails and my plants seem to be taken off the menu.

Gracias mesatrin. Funny cuz since I had the public execution on the last slug I have hardly seen anyy slugs near my veggies. Who says public executions don't work? j/k

I second the pie-tin beer-trap...very effective!

My peppers were seriously accosted by slugs last week.
My Bhut's were attacked the worst...the smallest Bhut has no leaves at all now....
but I'll leave it to see if the root-system has enough vitality to re-grow foliage.

The slugs also attacked my Choc Hab's and my Tobasco.
For some reason, they left the Arbol, Thai's, Hungarian, Tobasco, and Poblano alone.
Just the precious plants they're after!

Thumbs up to public executions, too! ;)
