I have had this same problem a few times before. I was worried sick rushed my baby to the vet. My vet looked at me and laughed his butt off (we are friends) he told me to take my baby home and put it on a diet. So, we laid towels down and I would put my hands on each side of its legs and make it walk. Within a week or so they were up and going. My husband even went out and bought a door mat with the deep grooves to do puppy physical therapy. So, the next time it happened I knew what to do. Good luck I am sure they will be fine as soon as their little legs can support the weight.
