Vomiting problem
I assume you have ruled out hairballs? I would also try feeding less
food at a time. I had a cat who would eat really fast and then throw
up. Small portions more frequently helped.

Fur Balls
I will say what I always say about this problem - get Temptations
Hairball treats and give them daily. The hairballs will go out the
other end. They work!

Dudley's relapse...
My experience only - when it is time - you know. When it is time, you
can take your kitty to the vet and he/she doesn't really realize. They
go quietly when it is time. I have heard horror stories...

My Kitten's Eyes
When you put the gel in her eyes, be careful not to touch the
applicator to her eyeball. You could scratch her cornea and that would
cause her eye to become sensitive to light and weep.

Hairball Advice
Have you tried Temptations for Hairballs? They are treats in a little
foil bag and I find that they work really well. However, you may need
to comb/brush her nearly daily.
