I took her to the vet the day after I got her and they did a full check up on her, including bloodwork and a stool sample. They gave me some science diet to give her instead of the Eukanuba puppy the breeder gave me (because she was barely eating the Eukanuba). Anyway, she immediately started eating that, but then doesn't seem to like it anymore.
However, she loves cat food and LOVES human food LOL. She goes crazy over it. So she is hungry, just doesn't like her own food. Should I keep trying different foods? Any specific recommendations? I've been giving her nutri cal quite a bit, as the vet said to give her a dab of that every few hours.

Cat food is a big no, no and people food can cause pancreatitis.
Science Diet is not the best. But, find a good quality puppy food, entice her with Parmsean cheese, cheese or a bit of boiled, skinless chicken breast.
10 weeks she shouldn't even be going outside until she's had her full compliment of vaccinations. I see you live in Chicago, winter is coming on and I'd piddle pad train her. Put her in an x-pen, don't give her full access to the house if you can't watch her.
Don't over do the Nutri Cal it can cause diabitis and can actuallly do what you are trying to prevent, bring on a hyperglycemic attack, Make sure she's eating 4 meals at the minimum and you aren't over handling her and make sure she's getting plenty of rest.
