It sounds like Meeko could have seriously hurt himself jumping, and I'm concerned he has trouble keeping his head up. I think he needs to see a vet now. Please take him into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Best of luck.
