No. But cows can get bloat. This happens when gas gets trapped in their rumen and causes the cow's rumen to expand. It can be fatal because it can press against the lungs and suffocate the cow.

No, but cows can get bloat. Colic is a digestive disorder unique to equids including horses, mules and donkeys, but not in other non-equids.
