Squirrel severely damaged my only baby, what should I do next?

Dug it up, chewed off 3 branches, made a huge hole from a previous squirrel even worse, and left tons of tiny bit marks all over. I had just repotted too, since she had started growing straight down and tilting herself over. That's a fairly shallow pot made for succulents; thought I'd try and go for a bonsai type look, but probably it just made it easy for the squirrels to destroy.

How can I best help her recover? I've never done any significant pruning of roots and definitely nothing to her branches, mostly I've only ever watered, fertilized, and repotted once in the 5 years I've had her.

EDIT: I wasn't super clear before. She has been in the same pot for 3 years; by recently repotted, I mean that I recently refreshed the soil but put her back into her same pot, this time with some rocks underneath to get her sitting upright.
