Chihuahuas front & hind legs giving out

I have an almost 14 year old chihuahua (he'll be 14 in April), I know that these types of things will happen to dogs as they age but I've only been able to find articles on larger dogs or just their back legs...All of his legs started giving out at once yesterday, and he started wobbling...He tried to get back up but I ended up carrying him to his bed and telling him to stay. My grandfather thinks it's just muscle weakness or artheritis, but I'm concerned it could be something more serious...I would enjoy a second opinion before taking him to the vet, this has supposedly been going on for about a week but I've only witnessed it once and haven't been around to witness it more times.
Please help if anyone has any knowledge on this matter, I would appreciate it fully - thank you very much.
