3 days seems long to me, too. But the OP seems to like and trust their vet and has used them for years.
Mine get regular stitches on the outside.
There's no cost to get the stitches out or if the cat has to come back in for anything - such as an incision infection (aside from med I'm sent home with). None of my female cats have ever picked/licked at them. My poor little girl Blasa wouldn't even lick around them because she didn't like getting her tongue pricked on the stitches - it was actually amusing to watch her face when first she tried.
