Mariah Carey's lawyer has dismissed allegations the superstar owes almost $30,000 in medical fees to a veterinarian who treated her dogs, branding the doctor's lawsuit "a crass publicity stunt".

Veterinarian Cindy Bressler filed a lawsuit in a New York court on Wednesday, accusing the Hero hitmaker of paying just $8,231 of a $37,790 bill for providing "extraordinary services" for her pet pooches.

According to court filings obtained by New York Post, Carey's Jack Russell puppy, Dolomite, needed intensive care after being born to another one of the singer's dogs, Cha-Cha - who was only six months old when she gave birth.

Bressler's attorney Michael Posner, said she "provided lifesaving, round-the-clock medical care to Mariah Carey's puppy," adding, "This was a serious medical matter that required professional care by a veterinarian and veterinary nurses."

However, Carey's attorney, Orin Snyder, insists the singer will fight the lawsuit.

He says, "This abusive lawsuit appears to be a crass publicity stunt. As a matter of principle, Mariah intends to fight this baseless case and is confident that it will be dismissed."

Bressler is seeking the alleged bill balance of $29,559, plus legal fees.

I shocked too when I read the that dog was pregnant at 6 months of age. I'm wondering what the break down of the costs were to run up a $30,000 vet bill. How long did the dog require overnight stays at the vets

I can't imagine what kind of treatment would cost that much money
to be honest

Hollywood prices... everything is more expensive there.

I'm hoping that the age is false.
