There are some commercial tubes of beneficial microbes, vitamins, etc. you can get over the counter at virtually any good feed store. when they are little they go fast if you don't get on it in a hurry. Get the Probios tube in them quick as you can. Be careful with tubing them because it's easy to get the tube in the lungs and not down the throat. Put it in and listen for breath sounds in the tube before you tube them. keep them warm and hydrated, hope they got some colostrum absorbed. Get the best milk based replacer you can, avoid the soy/ wheat stuff at least for now. First 15 days are always critical, they go through a period of time where they have no natural immunity or ability to absorb any additional from an outside source. Little bits of death looking for a place to happen. Good luck
