I am hand feeding 6 puppies that are two weeks old. They have not pooped in the last eighteen hours. Can I give them anything? I've tried massaging their backsides.

You should contact a Vet. They should be pooping more often than not. Each dog breed may vary, but 18 hours is to long.- treatfortrick.com/
I would wait 24 hours and then call the vet.
They should be going to the bathroom or they could become constipated and that can be serious.
First; think about taking one of the pups to your local Humane Society and ask them to show you how to get these pups to go potty. As a general rule they will have someone to show you how and may possibly even help you with the other pups.
There are at least two different ways to do this: they may should easy but with wiggling pups it is not easy.
Use a wet pretty warm wash cloth and rub the area between his rear and his privates.
Massage the tummy area.
