Wow, that raises huge red flags to me that the breeder was asking you for money to get Panda's vaccines. The dried blood could be due to an injury, or it could be due to a UTI. She could have worms in her poop, as worms are common in puppies. Without seeing Panda in person, I can't say anything for certain. I would have her seen by a vet first thing in the morning. The vet can give her a health check, diagnose if she does have worms, and diagnose the cause of the dried blood.
