“It has been about a month post parvo. My issue is he is now knuckling over or, bowing at the leg on his front”.
“It is so bad he can’t walk very well. It seemed to start healing and then I took him out for a long walk and it worsened. Should I just keep him on bed rest? I thought exercise would help”.

I would call the vet that treated him for parvo and see what he recommends. Some of his issues may not be related to his diet.
If fact, depending on the severity of his symptoms, and if the regular vet can’t fit you in today, I might head over to the emergency vet for some testing and a diagnosis (today).
Puppies are vulnerable to dehydration.

PS: It can take up to 2 weeks to see an improvement after a food change.
