Sorry to hear your koi are having some health troubles.

If you don't mind my asking, how do your koi benefit from raising the salt level in re: fungus and bacterial issues vs. more specific treatments?

As for the pop-eye (exopthalmos), koi with dropsy are often treated by raising the salt level to reduce the fluid retention by dropping the osmotic gradient -- so I don't believe that increasing the salt level caused the pop-eye.

Perhaps another call to you vet might be in order?

Best Wishes,
