You are doing the right thing, I just hope you are in time. Because of the way the disease works, existing paracites grow and then release to reproduce. If enough attach on the gills and grow, they can literally somther the fish.

Give things a chance though. The disease has a 14 day life cycle, and it can run even longer. Keep the SG down for several weeks if the fish tollerate it. Hopefull you are over the hump now and the fish are on their way to recovery.
