It depends on what type of patch . If it's just 'hair' loss then she's just flicked it out as a defence mechanism due to being disturbed . But if her skin has changed colour it indicates that it's approaching a shed .

She should be fine , just keep an eye on her . As long as she is moving around and not hunched into a ball she'll be fine .
