Whenever you change their diet, GI issues are bound to occur. I would start by giving her a very small portion of Wellness. Maybe a ratio of about 1:8, Wellness:Science Diet. Increasing the additions after several days. Allow her system to become accustomed to the new food slowly as she is still so young. I would not feed her straight Wellness right off the bat, as that is probably the reason for the loose stools. Slow is the way to go to keep their GI tract functioning optimally.

edited for: I know you only gave her around 6 bites of kibble to start off, but she also got some in the food, so that is a lot to start with and could be the reason for the issues. I would not switch to another food as this will only cause more issues.
