The only advice I can give is on hairballs, and I'm no expert...just a doting owner of two well-adjusted, healthy former ferals.
The one, Maggie, has always had issues with hairballs. She goes through long periods of being fine, and then for two days or so she'll puke after almost every meal and look generally miserable. That's when I bring out the Petromalt--essentially a laxative for cats. It comes in a tube. She gets a dose of that and by the next day she's done something massive in the litterbox and is back eating again without throwing up.
My father thinks the whole ritual is amusing and has taken to calling it "Maggie's oil change."
