Hi there, I recently got my cat neutered this past Wednesday. Since his surgery he has had difficulty swallowing, he has gagged a lot but has not puked up anything since the day after, and he has been shaking a lot… he is now making a loud crackling noise when he breathes, I am very worried.. should I be concered or is this normal post op?

While being a little groggy and sore post-surgery is normal, what you are describing may be due to trauma from intubation (or keeping the airway open during surgery). I recommend having Winston seen by a vet as soon as possible to determine what is going on. However, if you believe that Winston is having trouble breathing (gasping for air, gums turning blue) he should be seen by a vet immediately.
