Since they did not do an xray and he is packing the leg take him back to the vet for an xray. There is a huge difference between limping and packing. The later where the dog is carrying the leg is an indication the dog is in so much pain that he'd rather carry it than put it down. This is a very classic sign of bone cancer and since the vet did not perform xrays there is absolutely no way that bone cancer can be ruled out. You have a 9 yo Rott that is lame. With bone cancer being so common in the breed diagnostic xrays are a must. Without an xray (at a minimum) your vet cannot possibly say that the dog does not have bone cancer.
