He was just neutered on wednesday and I was told that when they did the operation he was given an IV as well as a tube was put down his throat..now that was 6 days ago and the poor little guy keeps coughing and is raspy does anyone know what I can give him to sooth his throat?

Call the vet. Tell them what the cat is experiencing and see what they have to suggest.

I would call the vet. It's possible that he has a sore throat, but he could have had damage to his trachea.

thanks for the advice guys i'm a new cat owner and it was freaking me out
poor little guy has been sleeping all day so he's going to the vet but the worst part about it is that i'm fostering to adopt the poor little guy so i cant take him to the vet someone from the petsave has to bring him and i'm like a new mother worrying about her baby lol

and according to the petsave woman my cat isnt the only one experiencing the problems from the neutering

Hmm, maybe do a google search on the vet to see what others might have to say about him/her. I hope Petsave will call the vet and do something!
