She's under 2 years old so she's probably still mentally a puppy. You may have to help her out for a while until she figures out what she's supposed to do. I would sit in/near the whelping box with her and convince her to lay down and let the puppies nurse. Are you sure she was only carrying 4? If there's a puppy retained that could well stress her out. (I'll leave off the lectures for now because they wont do you any good in your current situation. Hopefully the experience itself will convince you to wait a while and learn a lot before you breed again.)
