Uhm how much did you say?

Mariah Carey is being hounded by a veterinarian to the stars who says the singer is a doggone deadbeat.
Dr. Cindy Bressler, whose Web site boasts of her celebrity clients in Manhattan and the Hamptons, has a bone to pick with Carey for stiffing her on nearly $30,000 in “extraordinary services” performed on Cha-Cha, Dolomite and JJ, the suit says.
Carey is accused of paying only $8,231.50 to Bressler for services performed between last Oct. 31 and Dec. 2.
The “Hero” star still owes $29,559, according to court papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, for a nearly month-long stay in California to help with the birth of a puppy, Dolomite.
“Just pay the woman already,” said Michael Posner, the doggie-doc’s lawyer. “This has been going on six months.”
A spokeswoman for Carey did not return calls yesterday.
