Horses develop colic due to a blockage of their intestines from impacted food or when excess gas causes the intestines to twist and contort. Most cases of colic are not deadly when caught and treated. Minor cases can be delt with by simply walking the horse until the obstruction clears or the gas dissipates. Mineral oil can be introduced directly through a tube into the horses stomach to help as well. Severe cases of colic can be surgically treated by a vet.
Horse can and do die from colic if not treated.
