I'm sorry you and Harley are going through this. I haven't yet gone through a surgery for LP even though Ruby does have it. She was diagnosed with a stage 1 and is 4 years old now. Even though I've seen her skip a couple of times, it's never involved pain.

I know Yorkiemalt has had LP surgery done, she could give you some good advice.

I would think though if Harley is experiencing pain like you mentioned it is probably time for surgery. So, if you generally trust your vet, a second opinion may not really be necessary.
