why dont u ask the vet to cut the leg off. is it both of the legs of just one of it? if its just one of it, then cut the leg, you will be surprised how the dog can adapt three legged. but of course since chow chow is a very "compact" breed, u need to monitor the weight.
if both of the legs are rotten, then the best choice is to put the dog to sleep as it will be both painful for the owner to just see the dog like that and also painful for the dog to suffer. u mentioned the dog is old..he has served you good and done his duty. now its time for u to help him.
as much as i am a doglover. i will put the chow to sleep as i dont want the dog to suffer. if u still want to see how long the dog can go, make an elizabethan collar and put around the dogs neck. it looks like a lamp shade..he will not chew his leg cause he will not be able to reach it. but i too think the dog is trying to heal itself..animal has amazing instinct. decision up to you.
