Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear about Bugs. Sounds like this could be a middle or inner ear infection causing a head tilt. An external ear infection can migrate deeper and start to cause problems. This could be bacterial in nature or due to ear mites. I would advise seeking veterinary care for this bunny or find a wildlife rehabilitator in your area who can care for Bugs. Good luck
