Wow- this is a tough situation and I can only tell you what I would consider. I had a vet that did essentially the same thing with my first cat - she had cancer and the poor thing was down to skin and bones and just would not eat very much. We were leaving to go on vacation and I asked the vet to put her down if she continued not eating as the vet was boarding her while we were gone. When I got back, the vet did not put her down - I had called the next day and found out she was still there. I brought her home and she died in my arms that night. I decided then that I would never let another one of my cats suffer like that and I didn't with my second one that I lost about 4 years ago. Needless to say I never went back to that vet but I now have a vet that I know has my cat's best interest at the fore front. Like your vet, she keeps me very informed. I look at situations like this in one way - what is best for the cat. I personally do not think suffering is an option. If you feel that the vet is not taking the cat's best interest into acount - then say something.
