Yes. Depending on what type of damage that has been done. My poor girl Gimpy will always be deformed. It's like having a bone broken and then it not being put into a cast. Once they recieve the right amount of calcium their bones will have hardened and be formed incorrectly. It just depends on what steps are taken to reverse the damage, but generally most of the care is focused on getting them calcium not fixing what the lack of calcium did to them. Kinda sad for the little babies.
