Mimi's in the doghouse!

A prominent NYC veterinarian has sued Mariah Carey for $30,000 in unpaid bills, the Associated Press reports.

Cindy Bressler says she provided "extraordinary services" for Carey's three Jack Russell terriers Cha-Cha, Dolomite and JJ. Over the course of about a month, Carey ran up a bill of about $37,800, and has paid only $8200.

Bressler's lawyer didn't elaborate on the types of treatments enjoyed by the three pampered pets, but the vet's website notes that she makes house calls in the NYC area, with clients that include "prominent New Yorkers and celebrity clients."

Carey's rep could not be reached for comment.

Perhaps the doc has been performing obstetrician services for one of the famous pets? Back in May, Carey's husband Nick Cannon announced that "puppy Cha Cha is pregnant again!" A few weeks later, Carey announced via Twitter: ""ChaCha just had her baby! Its a giiirl!!! Anybody want a beautiful Jack russell puppy?! Jk: ) lol."

    Obviously can't tell people what to do with their $, but it sure would be nice if that $ could go to help rescue animals @ the shelter's, Humane Society, ASPCA, etc.

    This vet is overcharging her because she is super rich!! Mariah looks great in this picture, which is nice to see because she's had some really bad ones out lately.

    Ok... a few things here. First, the dog in the pic is a Maltese. Not a JRT. Second, she is so irresponsible for not getting them fixed and allowing them to breed like that. This is wrong in so many ways...
