Yes, I know what you mean by that squat walk. I cannot tell whether that periodic squat walk and staggering relate to a neuromuscular problem or a balance problem. In any case, those symptoms seem to have completely resolved in my two hens, as their feathers grow back, but they were never circling. My sense is, from seeing my own birds and from reading about it, that circling indicates more severe illness, and that recovery is less likely.....Although I am almost sure I've seen a few threads mentioning recovery even in birds who were circling. Just watch and wait, and try to figure out a way to keep the doves out of your chicken run/yard.
