After having your vet test for Brucellosis make sure they also do testing for any viral and bacterial, also have them check the thyroid and have a repro check her Progesterone . I am only saying this because I went through this earlier this year with a female of mine. She had normal litters before but this one time she had a sudden onset of green discharge, I took her to the vet they took a sample of the discharge and checked for any viruses and also for bacteria. They then did an ultrasound and xrays. There were still 2 live pups inside with very strong heartbeats and they were moving around so they advised me to take her home and keep her relaxed. Well I did what I was told and her body had other plans. she delivered 3 partially absorbed fetuses and one whole one that looked just like the pic you posted. I have since had her thoroughly tested just in case the previous tests missed something I also had the fetuses tested. From what I was told is they cannot definitely determine what caused it but they know for sure what didn't. They also advised me to try another breeding with the same male. My point is there can be a number of reasons why it happens. It could be viral, bacterial, hormonal, genetic, environmental or simply the food or it could have just been that the females body wasn't ready or the pups weren't right. For me I have ruled out most of these, now i am going to follow my repro vets advice and breed her again, but if this happens again then she will definitely be fixed, if it doesn't then maybe I can help others who have had this happen.
