Turkeys are very hardy, and can sleep outside in bad weather without issues. I'm thinking yours has something else going on that has caused her to be weak. It sounds like more than just a fall to me. You may want to find a vet to see her.

I’ve raised turkeys for 3 years now and they are very hardy - what happened to Meatball was that she fell and got stuck in about 4 inches of mud. She was soaking wet and that’s caused the hypothermia.Turkeys are very hardy, and can sleep outside in bad weather without issues.

She seems to be gurgling a bit as she breathes now. Should I be worried or will it go away?Keep giving the fluids, but be careful, because they can aspirate easily.
Gurgling is a sign she has aspirated, so not good. Can you take a video of her breathing, upload it to YouTube or Vimeo then copy and paste the link here?She seems to be gurgling a bit as she breathes now. Should I be worried or will it go away?
