This is what I would do, I too have killed fish in QT trying to save them.

My lavender tang (RIP) had a real bad case of ich however she was eating fine and didn't seemed bothered by it when she was in the main tank. But still I thought I should take her out and do hypo in QT. She survived almost the whole QT process (all the ich was gone) however the stress of the hypo and the stress of going from a 230g to a 30g QT tank killed her. She was alive the day before we went to bring her to her new home, unfortunately in the morning when we went to catch her to bring her to her new home she was dead I have to say I lost a lot of faith in practice and use of QT methods.

I soak the mysis I feed my fish in selcon and garlic when any of them have a cut or scrape etc. and it seems to help my fish heal faster. I would try that and keep an eye them.
