Greasy fur?

Bunzle has been on eye drops and ear drops. They have both made his fur greasy. I keep bathing him with warm water and cotton wool pads but it's not making any difference. He finishes his drops tomorrow, fingers crossed he doesn't need anymore. I don't want to have to give him a full bath. It's all round his face, ears and starting to spread down his back. Can anyone suggest anything?
 
You could try rubbing a small amount of talcum powder into the greasy bits, then combing it through. It mops up the grease nicely and any excess talc will brush out.
 
Cornflour would be best, you can also use animal grooming chalk powder and regular flour would probably work too and talc but make sure these are brushed out properly, you don't want your rabbit to ingest any
