Yes, dogs can sometimes require tonsil removal, a procedure known as tonsillectomy. This may be necessary if they have chronic tonsillitis, recurrent infections, or tumors affecting the tonsils. Symptoms that might indicate a problem include difficulty swallowing, excessive drooling, or persistent bad breath. However, tonsil removal is not common in dogs and is typically considered only when other treatments have failed.

What could be wrong if you keep coughing but you don't have a cold and you just got your tonsils out?

Any irritation to the throat, bronchial tubes or lungs can cause a cough. Having your tonsils removed definitely irritates your throat and can cause a cough. However, to know for sure what is causing the cough and to find out if the cough could cause a problem after the recent tonsillectomy (such as trigger bleeding), it would be good to contact the surgeon who removed your tonsils and report the cough for them to determine what, if any, treatment you may need.
