My pup is puking a brown liquid. I have not seen it myself as I am at work, but my boyfriend called me to let me know. What could be causing it? She is around 6 or so months old.

Hi there and thank you for reaching out to Pet Coach. Letti may have been vomiting for many reasons: she has eaten something that caused stomach upset, she has invested a foreign object, she acquired a virus of her intestinal tract, or she may be having a reaction. If her vomiting has stopped, she is drinking water, and willing to eat a small amount of food and can keep it down, I would continue to have you watch her closely for the next 24 hrs to see if she gets worse. If Letti continues to vomit, develops diarrhea, and:or is not interested in food, I would recommend to have her evaluated by your veterinarian as soon as possible.
