Oh no, poor Memo. He could have been quite injured by this fall. If you see limping, he is lethargic and refuses to move much, has a loss of appetite, there is blood coming from his nose or mouth, he appears confused or disorientated, or he has seizures, you need to take him into a vet immediately.
