The possibility certainly isn't a remote one. Cows that lay down for days at a time due to injury or illness will first suffer from dehyrdation and starvation, second only via muscle deteroriation and consequential weakness in musculature and ligaments. Blood cannot flow to a cow's legs when they are bent up for too long, which may eventually cause the first stage of necrosis, or just a tingling/numbing sensation in the legs due to circulation being cut off and being unable to reach these extremities. But basically once a cow is down and can't get up, and even after attempts to try to get them back on their feet again that have failed, it is in the best interests of the cow to euthanize her rather than leave her die a slow, painful death.

No. It has to be suffering from some illness, disease or infection to make it die while laying down for too long. A cow must, though, be able to get up and move around because it is too much work for the producer to be looking after a downer cow, and the cow's musculature will decrease so much that she won't be able to get up after a while (which can be as long as several weeks or more). If that's the case, then the cow must be euthanized.

Cows do not hurt when they lay on their sides because it would feel like you laying on your side.

A cow will not die if they are tipped over. The cow could possibly be hurt though.

Well she certainly won't be able to get up easily. Of course, she indeed may die after a few days (maybe even up to a week) if she isn't helped to get up again.

There is no definitive origin or known meaning to "nothing tips like a cow." Many feel that it relates to "cow-tipping."
