Dr Ruth is right.  A swollen vulva may be the only sign of adrenal gland
disease in some females.  A CBC will not help with the diagnosis, but it
is a good way to check for anemia that some cases of adrenal gland
disease have!  Anemia is more common in cases with a swollen vulva.  If
there is a swollen vulva in a spayed female, then it is either adrenal
or an ovarian remnant causing it.
 
Hope that helps,
