If the familiar enters combat, treat it like a combatant. One hit will take it down and may kill it outright. And don't let the wizard forget to apply AoE damage to the familiar. One fireball is a certain kill.
I'm usually pretty generous on familiars and combat. I assume it makes itself scarce and the wizard doesn't have to worry about it becoming collateral damage. But if you're going to put it in harm's way for a fleeting tactical advantage... so be it.
