Just a thought. Could you use rolled oats in a stocking as a gentle wash for Pusskin?

or just dabbing with soft paper towels

What I was thinking is you put oats in a stocking, pour boiling water over them into a bowl, wait for the water to cool then dip cotton balls in and use.

Unfortunately it's sticky greasy residue smeared into her fur from her eardrops, so needs some kind of detergent.

Edit: Yeah, the Surolan contained liquid paraffin.
