I suggest you consider passing on your show this year. Let's face it, a show means more stress for the koi and there is no need to complicate the present situation. I believe the action you took to be valid and that the koi will slowly
recover. You will probably want to re-start a light feeding regiment. I would think that in about a week things should appear to be back to "normal" and you can thru water changes start to drop your salt % to former levels. In extreme cases I have seen salt used from .0 to .6 so i don't think your increase was something you should have concerned feelings about. Keep your eyes open and observe and be proactive if you discern anything else.
