Hello. I would think Nani has recovered from the Parvo virus at this time. It is possible that she has injured a collateral ligament in her knee, or has a sub-luxating patella ( the knee cap can "pop" out ). Often a dog will kick or stretch their leg to put the kneecap back in place. If you think she has a fever, please see your vet as soon as possible. This is something that should not be treated at home. I hope Nani is doing great very soon & thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
