Hydrangea Pruning After Deer Damage

Question

I have a border of hydrangea macrophylla that was over pruned last winter and is not currently in bloom. Deer ate 3 out of 9 severely. Can I cut back the 6 that the deer didn’t eat now since they are not in bloom, or should I wait until September? And, is there any way to have them bloom again next year?
