Mariah Carey apparently owes a New York vet $30,000 for her “extraordinary services” after the singer failed to pay up her bill, according to TMZ.

Dr. Cindy Bressler filed a lawsuit against Carey after she claims that the singer only paid $8,000 of a $38,000 bill for looking after three of her Jack Russells (Cha-Cha, Dolomite and JJ).

Bressler says that while Carey was off promoting the award-winning ‘Precious’ she was left holding the baby pup as she had to deliver Dolomite last year.

Hold on it costs how much to feed and groom a dog!? I think I’m in the wrong business…

Rumour has it that Mariah wants her interior designer Kenneth Bordewick to get her Michael Jackson’s living room set, which is up for auction in Vegas tomorrow. People reckon it could go for as much as $1 million – she better pay her vet bill first!!
